I think they are only in 0.8

I have never encountered them.

[Trithemius]

I could build them in Opiana with a Parthian III government in there so I think they are in 0.7.4. Perhaps you are thinking of Hellenikon Hoplitai which were in the Saka-Rauka preview; I have not seen them around as the Baktrians (and I assume they would be available...).

Well I figured it out. I had to demolish my I and II governments in the Indian provinces though. Is that a feature, or has it been altered for 0.8?

what is your experience with the fullstacks of indian longbowmen? how did you beat them with your army against stone walls? some feedback, please? I was always so daunted by them I turned south, then west.

Smaller armies, to lure them out and then fight them in the field, leading to a victory in a very close-run battle (Assassinating the enemy general with my Arachosian horse was a good idea).

I also marched into Kophen, then on into India A.S.A.P.. I had to return home for a refit before I took Patala, and I took Alexandropolis on the way towards it as well - which meant that Patala was a very very very tough fight.

Ahhh!

Baktrian recruitment is infuriating! There seems little rhyme or reason to some of the available units - thureophoroi need MIC4 in some places and MIC5 in others and both places can build agemata and pheriaspidai; some provinces can't build pantodapoi phalangitai despite having type I governments available; and some provinces can't build anything.

I'm totally confused! How do people manage?
