Hehehe, Baktria campaign is great for its variety of choices.

Mine Baktria strategy is rather different.

I'm Pahlavans best friend as long as they don't betray me.

My only city with 4 level MIC is Baktra and it spawns Pezhetairoi and Thorakitai every turn.
As for the rest, I guard everything else with these widely mentioned brilliant iranian archer-spearmen troops, that are cheap cheap cheap and die young.

Saka crazy cataphract dudes are finished. They dare stub me in the back. Maybe the reason of it was my Thorakitai stack near their capital, i don't know, I'm not sure.

Another stack of Thorakitae was sent to establish cultural relations into India. They are proud of their mission and can't wait till they meet new interesting people, kill them all, burn their houses and enslave their relatives.

As for AS, I eat them slow =)
