The former (Elymais, Persis) enjoys a high degree of autonomy while the latter (Indo Parthian) have declare independence from the Parthian central authority and later destroyed by the Kushan Empire. As the Parthian have no control over the coastal area, their navy was a blank.Later they manage to control parts of Arab coast but due to weak imperial authority and wars against Roman Empire, they barely have the resources to raise a navy thus making Parthian navy absent from Parthian history.

Other option like siege ladders could be a good option, while units like Hyrcanian Hillmen which i proposed was armed with axes which means they could destroy wooden palisade and gates thus solving the lack of siege gear problem, unfortunately the only disadvantage of these tribal warrior is that they have low HP and armor.

Mega Mania Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) Sassanid Dynasty have a navy made up by Arabs that includes people of Kuwait, Bahrain and the people of Oman especially those from the tribe of Azd (Banu Al-Azd). Their war vessels are the famous Dhow but the design was totally different from modern Dhow. But i have manage to identify at least 1 type of ship that could be the warship for Sassanid navy, hope you guys like it.The ship was the only candidate, but if anyone ask what's the flag doing there please ignore it.

Prodigal Son Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) Perhaps you could have both Parthians and Sassanids in the game for part II without much extra work and making sense (like the Greek and Celtic factions):- Simular buildings and many common units, since they mostly had the same territory.- They briefly fought against each other during the part II timeframe- Sassinids should have a some heavy infantry power plus more elephant and mostly catafract focus- Parthians should have only weak infantry, good catafracts, (maybe) no elephants and more of a horse archer focus.Parthian timeframe is almost equally split between the two game parts so they could also fit for part I. They could also be considered for having some of the nomad faction mechanics since they started as nomads before occupying a revolted seleucid satrapy.
