A Parthian Campaign Suggestion

[The Persian Cataphract]

Well, you are right Bozos, however considering the humble start of the Pahlavân which was nothing more than a confederacy, let alone a centralized kingdom, the successful campaign would explain how the Pahlavân kings became King of Kings, sovereigns over several nationalities.

What is wrong with the Pathian Capital?

Buggy or historical problems?

I know all you said about parthian faction leader.Well I suppose it's a matter of how to look at it.When I hear about "faction leader title" ,I consider it as the formal way of calling a faction leader. That's right that common people just called them "shâh" or ashkanian faction leaders were not that powerful to be considered as a real King of kings ,However "Shâhanshâh" was thier formal title and especially foreigners like Romans knew them like this ,For example :
At the reign of "Phraataces" (Parsi : "Farhadak") when caeser"Augoust" calls him just in name ,it made him annoyed and in his letter to august in return ,"Phraataces" call himself "Shâhanshâh" (King of kings).
Also in roman records ,Ashkanian kings have been called as "King of Kings".

In regard of the character names ,i think it should not be so difficult and doesn't need long time to be done.
Anuways ,these are my suggestions.

Dear Cambyses, I think you misunderstood me. My point was that Shâhanshâh is a title that we in the team intended to use from the very first beginning, to designate the greatest of kings, the lord of the shahrdârs. Let me demonstrate it in this way:

Shâhigânê Vuzurgân = Shâhigânê Zand = Shahrdâr (Leader of a specific clan's lesser magnates = leader of the clan = Owner of cities)

Shâhanshâh = Basileos Arsakoi = Arsaces = Shâhigânê Shahrdârân (King of Kings = King of Arsacids, the royal clan = The regal epithet of Arsaces = Shâh of the "city-owners")

I hope this clarified

@EB team
-Some other thing I had forggoten to mention.
Both "Pahlava Shivatir" and "Azad Asavaran" have wrong model ,because they carry bow on their models (!?) which should be corrected.

-"Grivpavar"(Parthian General bodygourd unit) don't use thier swords after the initial charge.

-Is it possible to add "Camel Cataphract" for Pahlavians? As you know "Artabanus IV" (Ardavan IV or V) used them in the last successful Pahlava attack on romans.I know this case was the only one has been recorded ,but it also gives Pahlava's (Mostly horsed based) unit roster some variety

Thank you so mutch for attention & Be vizhe sepasgozaram az "Savar'e Parsi"

You need to alt-switch your weapon. After you charge with your lance, double-rightclick again, but this time do this while holding down the alt-key.

Oh dear... This was me nearly a year ago, before I joined EB. I too suggested a cataphracted camel unit of the Hatrene model, however this was scrapped. The cataphracts gave Artabanus his victory against Macrinus, and Trajan's failed siege of the Parthian city of Hatra would of course add to this, but this was before I learned that the mod does not extend this far into the time-frame, I'm afraid

Bâ sepâs.

If you can say anything , what is in the works for our Parthian friends ? More cavalry ? A decent piece of Native Infantry ? The return of cavalry that can bring the soft touch of Parthianization with there axe?
