Their specialty troops are mercenary Greek hoplites and the Immortals, which fire a bow and carry a spear for self-defense.Īlso a flexible faction, but built around a core of heavy troops. Their infantry is mostly light, and with a wealth of missile troops like Median Archers and Persian Peltasts. They have a flexible selection of troop types, including light Hyrcanian cavalry, horse archers, missile and heavy chariots, mercenary Greek bodyguards, and heavy Bactrian cavalry.
