Parthian names

[Lucasiewicz]

In real life (tm) the Arsaces who founded the Parthians about twenty years after the game starts (and yes, I'm pretty sure he usually dies of old age long before that) had a brother named Tiridates. I may be looking at the wrong place, but the data file that I checked with Parthian names didn't include a Tiridates. (If EB has its own lists I'm probably looking in the wrong place).

I think he's born ingame around 330 BC and therefor mostly dies even a while before 250 BC. Even though there are mutliple sources and possibilities on the year of his death, there is some consensus nowadays that he would have ruled until 211 BC and not his brother Tiridates. So, even if this is not a certainty, he should be rather young at the start of the game. At least young enough to be able to sing it out until around 250-240 BC. And if EB accept that Arsaced ruled until 211 BC, he should even be in his 20'er years at the start of the game (not necessarily being the factions leader, because I have no idea who was it's leader in 272 BC).

One mini-bug that I've noticed springs to mind -- when playing a tactical battle some of the Parthian archer units (who may actually be Daha -- I don't remember) when you give them an order to launch a missile attack the pointer shows up as a javelin rather than a bow. Is this intentional ? If you aren't familiar with what I'm refering to I can go start a few battles and try to reproduce it.

This is intentional for some reason that I forget. It solves some sort of problem. My guess it's done so that they can keep firing while retreating. Might be wrong. The point is that's no bug, but intentional.
