Pergamon likes spamming stacks of 19 hoplites and a hoplite general. Gave me a hell of a time to wipe out with HAs. I had to fight, retreat and fight a second battle just to have enough arrows to whittle them down. That was with the Massagetae. Perhaps that high tier Royal Scythian jav-cav will shred them if the javs fly from the back?
