The Parthian early economy is bad enough to put anyone off playing as them. I personally prefers Pontus than Parthia.

I'm playing on Hard difficulty and my economy is doing enough to allow me to expand.Originally Posted by QuintusJulius-Cicero
I don't know how strategically I'm playing them, but what I did was I took Phraspaa (Idk how you spell it) and Seleucia right away. I negotiated a ceasefire with the Seleucids that gave me Hatra, and went on to Egypt, figuring that since the Seleucids only have Antioch that they won't be a threat later. So I decided to stop the Egyptian advance and ally with the Seleucids. Meanwhile I'm fighting against Armenia and have taken their capital and almost have their other settlement.
Maybe it's just cause I'm playing on Hard rather than Very Hard. I don't know. But that's enough off-topicness for one post.

Good strategy TotalWar092. anyhow I just don't manage to do well with Parthia. always droping into negative treasures. Pontus also have good missile cav plus Cappadocian cavalry, Which is like equals to Catahpracts. they also have good infantry and chariots. and their early economies of course. which is the reason when i like them better than the Parthians.

I don't think Junior members could vote, there were certain things I could not do when i was only a junior member.
With Parthia/Sassinsids I build all cav stacks for the field and all infantry forces for garrison work.
The A.I's tactics are unimaginitive and it prefers balanced formations, and it almost seems to panic when it sees forces that heavily cav going against it.
