First of all, there is the threat from the [[Seleucid Empire (RTW Faction)|Seleucid Empire]] to the north east. They are a big empire, very capable of causing problems. A possible tactic is to attack them very fast (at turn 2-3) and take Antioch and then expand at your own will.

Second possible tactic is to make an alliance with the [[Seleucid Empire (RTW Faction)|Seleucid Empire]] and while it lasts make a big army in your border cities to counter their betrayal when it happens, as it undoubtedly will at some stage.
