I personnally will be strange ans say the Scyths, they are by no means ultimate but suit my hit and run style. The parthians have elephants (which they shouldn't have) but still, the scyth noble archers are better IMExperiance than Parthian or was it Persian horse archers. I don't miss the Katas because Scyth nobles are good enough for what I need them to do and Scyth noble archers kick ass...I used to be very much an INF person but I am converted to the Doug Thompson way of combat
