Description
The Champion Cavalry of the Persian Faction.
Great!
very nice job!
very cool
what the bactrians has to do with the persians. i thing the bactrians used cataphracts only after their fusion with the greeks
We wanted to give the Persians a nice heavy cavalry without resorting to the cliche war elephant, which the Persians rarely used. Agree or not, that's what we chose to do. :)
i didnt say that i didnt agree but i thing they need a better name and a bit more accurate
We've renamed them to "Bactrian Lancers" and lightened the armour on the horses. Actually, the rider is heavily armoured, but the horse is not. We feel this is more accurate than what we had before in this screenshot ("Bactrian Cataphracts").
Shouldn't they be the Cavalry Spearmen?
The Cavalry Spearman will be the Cappadocian Cavalryman.
