Armenia is one of the factions in Rome: Total War designed to be non-playable. However they can be made playable by simple modifications to the game files (more information on which can be found here).

Game Play
Starting Position
Armenia begin in modern day Armenia and Georgia, north-east of Pontus, south-west of the Scythians and to the west of Parthia.
Their cities are:
- Artaxarta: Armenian Capital; Region - Armenia
- Koltais: Armenian Large Town; Region - Colchis
Victory Conditions
- Long Campaign: Hold 50 provinces including Rome.
- Short Campaign: Hold 15 provinces and outlast or destroy Seleucid Empire
Units
Generally speaking, Armenian armies are made up of Parthian-style armies, with both horse archers and cataphracts. They have weak early infantry with the exception of the heavy spearmen unit, who can make a surprisingly effective phalanx for troops that hail from such hilly terrain. They also have imitation Legions for their late armies.
