Starting Position
Armenia begin in modern day Armenia and Georgia, north-west of Pontus, south-west of the Scythians and east of Parthia
Win Conditions
Units
Generally speaking, Armenian armies are made up of terrible infantry but powerful cavalry, both horse archers and cataphracts, the exception this this is the heavy spearmen unit, who can make a surprisingly effective phalanx for troops that hail from such hilly terrain.They also have imitation Legions.
Unique Units
As already mentioned, Heavy Spearmen are an effective, if expensive, phalanx.
Armenia is the only faction that can recruit cataphract-archers who have a weaker charge than normal cataphracts but can use bows to soften up the enemy formation, but they cannot use regular horse archers tactics as their heavy armour will quickly tire them out.Cataphract Archers are better in meele than regular Cataphracts.
