Sassanian archer basic: reuse spearman skin, bow and a quiver of arrows. Sassanian archer advanced: reuse spearman skin with helmet and hauberk, bow and a quiver of arrows. Sassanian archer elite: armed like a dismounted cavalryman. cavalry helmet, hauberk, bow, wicker buckler and a quiver of arrows.

The rank and file Sassanian infantry (swordsman and spear man) should look like the infantryman that carries spear and wicker shield in the picture. Swordsman Basic: mail coif, hauberk, short sword and wicker shield. Swordsman Advanced: ridge helmet, hauberk, short sword and wicker shield. Swordsman Elite: ridge helmet, hauberk, short sword and buckler. Spearman Basic: unarmored, long spear and wicker shield (My suggestion: reuse 0 AD spara texture) Spearman Advanced: mail coif, hauberk, long spear and wicker shield (My suggestion: reuse 0 AD spara texture, DO NOT use Osprey's Sassanid shield!) Spearman Elite: ridge helmet, hauberk, long spear and wicker shield. I will talk about Sassanian archer and mercenaries next time due to time constraint, goodbye.

Diving deep into Sassanian military stuffs is no easy task, i need some time to explore when a lot of information is contradicting against each other. Sassanians seems to prefer mining and siege towers when they conduct siege warfare, therefore i suggest Delenda Est team to consider sword auxiliary unit. The appearance of this particular troop should have: 1. A helmet (ridge helmet) or mail coif 2. A mail hauberk 3. A wicker shield/buckler.

What about the navy? Siege weapons?
