Its good to meet a Fellow Pahlavian fan! I hate romans

and would love running them over with Cataphracts

but i never seem to be able to progress far in a campaign with them.

Everyone loves Pahlava and their cataprachts.Romans are in the mod so you could destroy them.

Well anybody heard of "defend" option?!?!?!

combine that with: armories (i KNOW u have them), Polybian troops or higher= unstopable army :p

Romans are the beat all faction IMHO. everyone gets beat except for parthia..they die slow (fights with arrows then run...go figure :P).

Everyone player who beats romans CALM DOWN!!! beating AI isnt mankinds greates achievement... phalanxes get PWNED w/out their cav protecting the flanks...

Horse cav relies on running away while shooting arrows, no more arrows/food for horse (in real life)/ testudo means one TUFF fight.

c'mon, Romans will throw pila (if not killing, then slowing u down, no more shield) then give you a wide stab wound..

Thats bad ass.

Interesting Boyar Son (AKA K COSSACK?) seeing as in real life (the one without RTW AI) the "unstopable" armies of rome were "stopped" alot. hannibal repeatedly defeated the romans who only defeated him by the cowardly tactic of attacking were he wasn't. And in real life the romans feared the Pahlava who repeatedly trampled the "unstoppable" armies of rome. ( these to names might ring a bell Marcus Licinius Crassus and the Battle of Carrhae).

Didn't Cordubo inflict some some damage to the Parthians?

My point being these people were still feared and the romans were humans not machines. And may I ask where you get some of your sources from? (no sarcasm just curious to learn)
