    Wish I had this before I started mine

    Of course in VH battles AI archers of any kind will shoot appart your units no matter how well armored they are and whether they are in loose formation or not.

    Very well done! But I would also like to read a guide on the Saka after the indo-saka reforms.

    Glad to hear it.

    Those early nobles certainly do sting... I like to keep all cavalry/horse archer armies though, so I don't have rams. Foot archers slow down my movement. The eastern cities are very weakly garrisoned so they're very prone to rebellion if you stick a few spies in there. If they don't rebel, the gates are opened anyhow so you might as well just take it.

    That would certainly be a thing I would not like to experience more than once! Generally, if I somehow had all-infantry armies, I'd just make the enemy horse archers expand all their ammo. The AI hardly ever make too many of those cataphract horse archers so I win anyhow.

    Ah yes, right. I did forget. Though, if you follow my guide, you won't ever have a chance to fight much against horse archers.

    Indeed. VH battle difficulty is just simply a pain. One of the reasons why I would never do such a thing. It's masochism!

    Heh, yes I've already been called a masochist at least once for doing both Saka Rauka and Saba in VH/VH.

    I haven't been ableto get this together, but I really want to see a battle between a mighty, balanced, veteran seleukid army and the same for the Saka, both led by 10-star leaders. I'd probavly take the seleukids, but it would difintly be hard-fought!

    The side controled by the AI looses.

    Though if human control the seleucids it take a bit long to catch all the HA.
