Parthia are one of the playable factions in Rome: Total War. They can be played after successfully completing a campaign as a Roman faction or by simple modifications to the game files (more information on which can be found here).

Game Play

Parthia has nearby rebels to conquer and three immediate factions to contend with: Scythia, Armenia, and the Seleucid Empire.

Starting Position

Parthia starts at the far eastern edge of the map in and around Asia Minor.

Their cities are:

  • Susa:
  • Arsakia:
  • Campus Sakae:

Victory Conditions

  • Long Campaign: Hold 50 provinces including Rome.
  • Short Campaign: Hold 15 provinces and outlast or destroy Seleucid Empire and Armenia.

Parthia General's Bodyguard.
  • Infantry
  • Cavalry
  • Missile
  • Naval
  • Bodyguard
  • Mercenary

Unique Units

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.
