AI, economy, unit size and missile attack questions

They have more or less the same statistics as Polybian Principes, but these poor, oppressed Armenians cost more than 100 mnai per round more than the Romans and available from the level 4, while Principes are available from the level 3.

The poor Romanoi need cheap units.

Fair enough, but why in that case do the Pahlava have Cataphracts from the level 4 (and something with even better statistics called Pahlava Noble Cataphracts available from even the level 3!) while its Armenian counterpart with identical statistics is available to me from the level 5, which I will probably never achieve :-) ?

Phalava is the cavalery faction. They have some of the best Cataphracts that are available in the whole game. So, how I said good luck, you will need it.

As Hayasdan you have a good mix out of heavy assault infantery, light spearmen, and cavalery. Learn how to use this combination. Then go and sack Rome, they deserve it, pay them back that they have cheaper units then you, show no mercy!

The game leaves me hardly any other choice. Thanks for the support. :-)
