Question about the Carrhae historical battle.

When you play as Pahlava, is it suppose to be really easy?

well-pahlava did PWN the romani in that battle. the thing is to kill the son before he reaches the square and time runs out..(I killed the dad too as a bonus..)

Dear me that was tragic.

However, in this case it is only a game - so don't forget to behead the Daddies' body and string it around like a puppet in all your Parthian cities, straddling it with garlands and wreaths!

I played the battle as the romani and it was quite easy for me.

Haha, I did the same thing, killing the son just wasn't fun enough

After I killed the dad and ran off, there weren't many guys of my army left though..

I swear, didn't the pahlav absolutely destroy the romani?
Then why is it impossible to actually win the battle as pahlav?

Because it isn't?

Actually, this battle was only made as a "light" version, where the Pahlava are given the trivial assignment of killing off Publius Crassus. My original intention was to have the battle from square one, where Marcus Licinius Crassus sends his mounted scouts to check the area, and to have his auxiliary Eastern light horse "wavering" due to their suspicious loyalties; Should Pahlava kill the scouts, the Eastern auxiliaries ensue in a massive rout. Unfortunately this requires an absolute shitload of scripting, so we have put the idea of a "TPC-edition" on ice for now.
