    or epirus, they also have elephants. on top of that they have elite pikemen, agrianian assault infantry, the thracian roster and hellenic heavy skirmisher cavalry
    Baktria has really powerful cavalry: shock cavalry (Cat without reform requirement and Cat elephant ), high-armor HA, FM bodyguard( Hetairio Cat is one of the best cavalries in the game, if not the best)

    Compared with Epeiros, Baktria has much more better cavalry( better hammer), weaker phalanx( no elite phalanx, but most time the Pezhetairoi and the Thorakitai are tough enough for the line infantry, i.e., weaker but tough enough anvil ), Indian guild warrior as the assault infantry( the only very good stamina, fast moving, high-armor, high attack and ap attribute-infantry in the game), the Indian and Indian-Greek roster and the high armor Baktrioi Hippotoxotai.

    Getai indeed has a good roster but the AOR(area of recruitment) is really limited, and i think the AOR is an important metric for unit, especially for line infantry. And for Bak, the AOR of the Hellenic Native Phalanx, the Pezhetairoi and the Thorakita are much more larger than the AOR of the Getai phalanx.

    Roman infantries are really cheap and powerful, but they can't access to high-mass shock cavalry(Italic elite cavalry is good, but it's a medium cavalry after all) . And the unit roster is lack of diversity since most roles in the game is performed by the principles/Cohortes.
