    Heh heh...

    Reminds me of the good old days when I fought against the Seleucids as the Parthians. I say good "old days" because now their troops are too heavily armored for a butchering like that to be possible anymore. It's quite possible to win a battle in a massacre like that even without a fort.

    I've done it several times with one bodyguard unit and just a few horse archers against vast hordes of levy phalangites and skirmishers. Just stay out of their way, hit them from the rear, and if you run out of arrows isolate a unit from the main army and crush it with the bodyguards. The Bactrians have even fewer armored troops so it facilitates this easier.

    Good job. But soon you might get into horse archer duels. Those are generally bloody for both sides of the battle.

    BTW what difficulty mode do you play on? Very hard/hard for me...
