    I remember reading somewhere that at Carrhae, the Parthians brought wagonloads of arrows. Anyone's welcome to correct me if I'm wrong.

    It's so fun, cos' in Cambridge Ancient History, it is described as "it had occured to him [Surena], that archers were no good without arrows. This does not appear to have occured to anybody else."

    actually its true, since he revolutionized horse archer tactics by carrying extra arrows. But the way its formulated, its just HILARIOUS!!!!!!
    Moreover, I advise that Syracusans must be added to EB (insp. by Cato the Elder )

    Is looking forward to the 2090's, when EB 20.0 will be released - spanning the entire Eurasian continent and having no Eleutheroi - with a faction for every independent state instead. Look out for the Gedrosians, the Cretans and the kingdom of Kallatis!
