    Default Some questions abaut Parthians

    1)Hallo, im experimenting some new parthians units, and i noticed that the chataphract unit and the heavy cavalry unit (azad asavaran), have the "quiver" at a side of their armour, but they cant throw arrows. So im very courious, is there a project to implement the arrows throwing for these two units (since the quiver is included in their armour)?

    2)Second, the heavy horse archer unit (i dont remember the Phavla name now, but it is the more expensive) have the quiver at their right flank, instead of their left flank, but they continue to pick arrows from the left flank. now i suppose this is an error in the animation, so is this to go to be corrected?

    3)i noticed that the yuèzhe and the Parthian bodyguards, have similar skins (it changes only the horse skin). Is this a provvisory skins? or it will be changed in the next patches? Im courious of this cause i noticed that bactrians and Iberian have also the same general bodyguard skins

    4)what are the provvisory and what the definitive skins for phartians?

    many thanks for answers, im very courious on such thinks (phartia/phavla is my favorite faction), and i cant wait the time when (or if) the cataphract will be able to throw arrows ecc.

    greets Obelics/Artaserse and many thanks for the wonderfull mod!

    Responding to #3 - we have lots of placeholder units in for bodyguards currently. And for general's units too. I wouldn't worry about this for the time being. Good points on 1 and 2 though. Maybe someone with more knowledge on them will respond here too.

    For point 1) No, they won't ever have arrows, it's just eye candy because unfortunatly most cavarly in the east used 3 weapons (bow, lance, melee weapon) and RTW only allows two. As such we have to pick one of the 3 weapons and disable it. In the cases you've mentioned it's the bow, in other cases it's the melee weapon (mace, axe, sword).

    This actually reminds me of something I noticed when I was fooling around as the Pahlava.
