I typiclly use the Seleucid Empire. The tactics vary depening on who the enemy is. When I fight all the north eastern armies I find it quicker to just go head on since none of there forces can withstand the phalanx. I always have chariots on hand that I hold in reserve until I see what the other calvary are doing. Ill even send them on suicide missions to kill the enemy general since chariots wipe out calvary with ease.
Romans however are only difficult to defeat later in the game so I use artillary to rain fireballs on them to reduce their ranks in large clumps. When they get in range Ill send in some armoured war elephants to disrupt there infantry formations and chariots to take out their calvary and catapracts to run down archers or artillery. I retain very little archers because their range kinda blows. Ill send in my phalanx and mop up what is left.
The cons are chariots and elephants. Anyone who has used them only hope they dont panic. If they do then it could turn out very bad.
