Some Strategy and Information

Unique Units

Persiancavalrybruti.JPG

Parthia has two completely unique units that no other faction has.

The first of these units is Persian Cavalry. Persian Cavalry is a horse archer unit with long-range and melee capability. They can shoot their enemies at a distance or be used as light sword-armed cavalry. They also have the Cantabrian Circle ability allowing them to circle in front of an enemy to avoid missile fire.

The next special and unique unit is the Camel Cataphract. The camel cataphract is like it's armoured counterpart but with camels instead of horses. Having camels allows these particular cataphracts to pack an armoured punch and also fight other cavalry due to camels, which scare horses.

Strategy

Persian cavalry, cataphracts and war elephants are the perfect Parthian mix

A good Parthian strategy should be to conquer the eastern part of the Seleucid Empire, and Armenia. Take out Armenia fast!!!! Capturing the Caspian Sea would be great for trade as well. Their armies would rely on Heavy Cavalry (Cataphracts), and Horse Archers.

You can also use your weak infantry in a role that it is ment to be used in absorving arrows in order to protect foot archers while you crush the enemy flank and rear with catafranks and missile fire.

do this by having your eastern infantry in loose formation and you can place 2 foot archer in that formation but as it already been said only bring few infantry units and dont allow them to enter melee.

Sound strange but this will allow you too shoot them in the rear with horsearchers for a longer time as well as creating an even bigger gap in the enemy formation.
