Roma Surrectum's New Parthians!

excellent units, but didnt they have elephants?

**AqD** · May 22, 2009, 12:36 AM

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.

(And we want to make Carthage more awesome...

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!

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.

**Gez** · July 10, 2009, 05:43 PM

Trust me...Parthia is a giant armoured monster...but a VERY pretty giant armoured monster at that...especially in glorious 16x AA :> yum...

Some screenshots of updated Parthian skins / models from the beta:

There's my pretty Cataphracts!

**stanley86** · July 11, 2009, 08:18 PM

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 :]

You guys are hopeless.

It's done when it's done. Not much left by the way. I can smell a Roman preview coming. And when there's a Roman Preview... why Roma Surrectum is here.

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.
