Camels scare horses, making them extremely effective in attacking and destroying enemy cavalry units, particularly slower heavy cavalry, as Cataphract camels still have the Armor-piercing mace attack, the alternate attack for Cataphracts.
These units are simply cataphracts who have exchanged their horse mounts for camels. Now what you do now is send your elephants right through your own eastern infantry and into the Urban Cohort.Īt the same time you smash the enemy cav with your own cav by attacking from all sides remember this:Battles are about Routing units you dont have to kill them 1 by 1 Kill them all once they are all runinng so that you dont lose troops durning the slow process of annahilating enemy army.Ĭataphract Camels: Can be recruited from Royal Cavalry Stables. These troops provide your army with shockpower you can place these elefants behind eastern infantry(if facing romans the enemy roman player thinks eastern infantry? against my Urbans easy kills he charges his urbans in maybe he has only cohorts and cav no archers or onagers) War Elephants: Can be recruited from Elite Cavalry Stables. They are far better protected than normal horse archers and have swords for melee. Persian cavalry themselves have long range bows making them more dangerous than normal horse archers ,even if Persian cavalry lack mobility. Cantabrian circle allows them to move while shooting, making them more effective versus foot archers as they take less hits. Persian cavalry are very useful, namely if they use cantribian circle. Persian Cavalry: Can be recruited from Cavalry Stables. Their foot archers are average, making them often unnecessary, and their Melee infantry is terrible the worst in Rome Total War by a longshot. They also have the unmatched Cataphract heavy cavalry as well as War Elephants and Cataphract Camels, who all have a brutal charge and should crush any opposing cavalry force. They have very strong horse archers, including Persian Cavalry, a long range Horse Archer that can also fight in melee. A Parthian field army should either be entirely cavalry or include Infantry only as bait or fodder. Parthia is a completely cavalry focused faction.
