[Finishing the Seleucid Faction ideas]

Hi, 

I´m still quite new here. I only posted few times and it was always posted about Seleukids as I have a long time interest on them. So after quick read of this thread I wrote my view on how the Seleukid army in 0AD should look like, it focus mainly on armies of Antiochos III and Antiochos IV. It has a list of units with a little describtion and reference pictures. Due RL it was written quickly, so I apologize for possible mistakes. 

 

I hope it will be helpful for your great work.

[===[POLL]=== Seleucid Architecture Direction]

I think the Seleucid buildings should look with much more Greek influance as it´s now with some local eastern elements. The best example is the AI Khanoum site, the city there was founded by Antiochos I and it was destroyed around 140´s BC, so there should be no later Roman and Parthian influence. The various structures have perfectly Hellenistic elements, some other integrating elements of Persian architecture.

Here is a video reconstruction of the city made on French excavations. I hope it will be help:
