Hayasdan homeland

Perhaps this is offtopic, or already been discussed. I apologize if so.

I'm just curious about the army compositions you all use for Hayasdan. I haven't played them all that much, but what I did, it seemed like they were reliant on the awesome FM bodyguards as the core of their army, and the rest I fleshed out with horse archers. Does anyone do it differently? Apart from phalanxes to defend key points, do you actually try to raise an infantry army with these guys or just play them as a HA faction?

I have the low level infantry backed up by archers and slingers, with the Cataphracts ready to flank and attack the enemy after they are engaged.

well i ususally never use horse archers,just not my type,i rely heavily on caucasian archers and spearmen, i always put them on burning arrows and disable skirmish so while they ditract the enemy with heavy arrow fire and occasionaly hand to hand combat i flank both with cavalry and spearmen.Also i tend to take the fm and chase the enemy general till i kill them so by the time i charge the morale of the enemy is rock bottom and i make a massakre!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And artavazd thanks for the link, exactly what i was looking for......
