For bonuses i am thinking Heavenly Horses (Faster cavalry, maybe make them able to round up horses like with elephants) and Hill Country (Something like losing less territory, or buildings being harder to capture).

 

Team bonus could be the same as the Persians (Silk Road, benefits trade).

 

For special techs,  Elephant Roundup, and Greco Buddhism (The later makes temples and healers heal faster, perhaps it could also make temples cheaper ?).

The problem is the following, how do we make bactria different enough from persians and greeks  to justify adding them? The roster proposed is fine but bland regretfully.
