Their Cavalry Archers also get access to Parthian Tactics in the Castle Age, making them very potent in the mid-stages of the game. Their unique unit, the War Elephant, is a unit that is expensive and slow in both movement and production speed but has a high attack with trample damage and massive durability.Īiding their cavalry are their Kamandaran Crossbowmen, who cost no gold, making them very useful despite the lack of Bracer and Arbalester. Additionally, their team bonus grants their Knight-line units +2 attack against archers, an especially important buff in the Castle Age. The Persians have access to every cavalry technology, the Hussar, the Heavy Camel Rider and the Paladin-replacement Savar.
