Hello! 

I noticed that the Seleucid Empire is not present on Israel/Palestine in the Collection Map, when the most certainly did rule the area for quite some time. I was hoping this could be fixed. 

Thanks!

Thanks!

If I can just piggy back on this though, shouldn't the Seleucid Empire also cover Armenia, Tajikistan, Pakistan and India? I just realised it doesn't cover them as well, but the Seleucids did in fact rule portions of what is today those countries. 

Thanks again!

Question is how big portions? We decided to not show minimal coverage.

They had a lot of control over Afghanistan and Tajikistan until their usurpation by the Bactrians. They signed off their Indian territories pretty early to the Mauryan Empire in exchange for war elephants. On that, the Bactrians should also extend to India?
