So who do you hate (units)?

Bactrian Heteiroi bodyguards, those guys simply crush everything I have as Parthia. They are virtually immune to arrows and virtually invincible in melee...

Gaestae... Or naked immortals as i like to call them... They chew up early Roman units like... I don't even know what... Even triarii have a hard time with them... I remember the first time i saw them... After gigling for a minute or so, i just thought that they were going to be easy like they were in RTW and in RTR and SPQR mod... They were guarding the gate to a town... So i smashed it down and as usual, sent in all my hastati which at the time was 4 units... 5 minutes later they came running back out of the gate like babies having taken many losses... So in i sent the principes... 10 minutes later out they came, crying like babies once again... So i picked up the ram, rammed another part of the wall down, sent in the rorari to occupy them which they did for just long enough for my triarii to get in and form up...

By this time they were exhausted and my Triarii were fresh, also my re-grouped principes were throwing spears over the wall which eventually routed the gaestae... At which point i sent in my general to cut them down as quickly as possible because they still had about 30 men left in each unit...

And that's how an entire legion of mine was reduced to about 5 rag-tag units, at the hands of the naked immortals.

Seleucid Hetairoi Generals brrrrrrrrrrrrr

BTW, does Baktria have access to Hetairoi units later in the game ? And their cataphracts are like Seleucid ones, only appearing after fighting agains Parthians?

numidean javelin men....theyre fast, have decent attacka nd defence, are in large numbers and throw damaging javelins... and they seem to absorb cavalry pretty well. and there really cheap!!
