Nope. Sassanians had them, but Parthians never used them - or never used in the western frontier against Romans.
Parthians didn't seem to have a large royal treasury to support centralized army like Sassanisns or Romans did, instead they rely on fedual nobles and local militia, which couldn't possibly include Indian elephants since they didn't conquer india - that's just my guess though

We excluded elephants from Parthia because there is significant historical evidence that they never used them.

You guys reskinned the Parthians have you?
It's like the more the RS 2 team practice in skinning and modelling, the better he gets, hence recreating units from scratch!
ohhh yeah ... with these guys in tow .. goodbye Mesopotamia Hello Atlantic Coastline !!
Awsome, but no suprise there.
Great work.
Nice, when i saw the 1st units i thought this guys where gonna be extremely easy to defeat, but then came those armored monsters, lol, crazy.
Trust me...Parthia is a giant armoured monster...but a VERY pretty giant armoured monster at that...especially in glorious 16x AA :> yum...
There's my pretty Cataphracts!
-RS2 Trait & Ancilliary Dev/Beta Tester-
Oh, yeah! I can only imagine, how fantastic they look in motion. A charge of 1,500 cataphracts was unforgetable in RS1.5 It will look even better in RS2.
And really nice helmets on the first picture :]
I'm sittin' here completely surrounded by no beer.
When released?
OH the question again!
It's definitely coming very soon. Right after a preview of the Gallaeci, of Carthage, of Pergamon and of the secret Celtic Faction. Not to forget previews of the strategy map, the economic system, the leadership systems, the recruitment system and all the other features I did not mention.
Deeply lost in the night. Just as one sometimes lowers one’s head to reflect, thus to be utterly lost in the night. All around people are asleep. Its just play-acting, an innocent self- deception, that they sleep in houses, in safe beds, under a safe roof, stretched out or curled up on mattresses, in sheets, under blankets; in reality they have flocked together as they had once upon a time and again later in a deserted region, a camp in the open, a countless number of men, an army, a people, under a cold sky on cold earth, collapsed where once they had stood, forehead pressed on the arm, face to the ground, breathing quietly. And you are watching, are one of the watchmen, you find the next one by brandishing a burning stick from the brushwood pile beside you. Why are you watching? Someone must watch, it is said. Someone must be there.
