It is 270 BC. It has been a bit more than 50 years since Alexander the Great
conquered a large part of the civilized world, an empire between the Danube
and the Indus. Alexander`s sudden death has brought his diadochs (generals)
into conflict, and it has been divided into 4 major empires:
The Antigonide empire in europe
The Seleucide empire in Asia
The Ptolemaic empire in Africa
and the empire of Pergamum near the coast of Asia Minor.
The empires began to fight for the Hellenistic world which Alexander has founded.
The winner of this fight was the Seleucid empire, which captured most of the basic
Persian empire, including northern Phoenecia, southern Asia Minor and Persia. For a
time it included Bactria, but a short time ago, it declared its independence. 
The Seleucids have allied themselves with the Antigonide empire to fight against
the independent Greeks who include the Greek colonies on the coast of the black sea,
the Greek motherland and all other colonies on Italy and the mediterranean. The mighty
Indian king Asoka has quickly freed the Indus valley from the greeks. The greek
world is living their own life, unimpressed by their neighbours, the Romans and
the Carthaginians who are fighting each other in the western Mediterranian, and the
Celts, who try barely to invade the land south of the Danube. You have time untill 
95 BC, when the Romans begin to invade western Greece.
The Seleucids are protagonists, and they will try to conquer the other Greeks, with help
of their Allies, the Antigonides.
The Indians, the Bactrians and the Pergamumians where not designed for play, although
the Pergamumians have a relatively big military. I reccomend either the Antigonides,
The Seleucids, the Ptolemaics and the independent Greeks.
