Playing Parthia post patch?

[player1]

I've seen that horse archers post patch are bugged/nerfed.
Can't shoot, while retreating (exempt if in circle).

So any good new strategies to adapt to sitiation?

Yes many have noticed this bug, which really effects Parthia and Scythia, making them virtually unplayable because of their dependence on HA.

But there is a temporary fix. The bug does not effect Militia Cavalry (javelin cav.). So for a quick fix, back-up and open up export_descr_unit txt in the Data folder. Find and mod all HA, camel and Chariot Archers to have the word "thrown" under the stat_pri_attr line. This will cause HA, camel and Chariot archers to work virtually as normal, restoring the 'Parthian shot' ability.

The only side effect is now that every HA, chariot and camel archer will show a javelin instead of a bow when clicking on an enemy unit to attack. Very minor.

What about strategies to adapt to sitation?

Moding is not always an option.
