I never played with bactria but im doing a pahlava campaing, and tey got only horses. mainly. im at war with Bactria, and AS, i manage to conquer a few setlements,as far as persopolis, only using horse archers, no infantry. you just need to have some patience with micro maneging. Horse archers and heavy cav, are extremly efective. I didnt manage to conquer bactria, but i manage to repeal every armie they trowed at me. funny thing they did was to pay one of my family member, and his army, with his city, and bring then to bactria faction. i did curse the gods for this. lol
But i kill the FM in batle later on and retake the city.
