After getting a request do so, I recreated a dead mod that replaces Parthia entirely with Persia, giving them the Alexander units, color, symbol, and banner, as well as all the units. I made their campaign description as historically accurate as possible so that the faction can still go well with this era, it's of course not 100% historical, yet it is definitely a fun addition to the game.

New features that are restricted to Parthia are AOR and recruitable generals (player only), Persia can now recruit Greek units in Greek areas only, as well as a mercenary Greek general unit that can be acquired on the second level of stables.
