Gah, the Amazon Chariots gave me so much trouble playing as Parthia...

I took a decent-sized army from Campus Sakae (the starting city in the north) and after bagging a couple of Scythian cities decided to take the Amazon province. First try the game CTD'd as I was making my way into the city.

Second try I autocalced. Lost the entire army, including my general, and the Scythians ended up retaking a city.

I decided to leave the Amazons alone after that little experience.

Well if one takes suffiecient HA and a general and plays the battle, it's a sure win.

You see, those Amazon chariots don't have any blades put on their wheels, this makes them terribly inefficient against anything but archers units and low armoured infantry. Taking heavy cav. and charging them into the chariots will decimate them, and HA could deplete their units from afar before you send in your main force.
