    use testudo formation when the persian cav is firing at you, but when you see the cata's charging at your cohorts get out of testudo formation.

    i alomst won it when the catas r still a mile away i used my cav to attack the persian cavalry then (they re fas so i didnt catch up) then i have to cavalry troops one went the left and one at the right i charged the catas using my cavalry on thier sides then i used my cohorts to finish the rest,then when all things where going well the persian still r gettin away and in their horse they can fire whike so i lostttttttt but i did learn somethin i know the catas in that battle r not that bad but the persians are they will probably run away in their fast speed

    wat should i do testude my men till all thier arrows are gone or keep on attackin till they re tired

    Retreat to the big hill directly behind you to your right. Then you can go into testudo until the cavalry charge, or even peg them with pilums! Try to use all your pilums before engaging.

    Just keep them in testudo untill the Cataphracts come, slaughter them, then get back into testudo and wait them out. (wait for their ammo to run out) Use pila whenever possible.

    As soon as battle starts break the testudo.Retreat fast to a small hill to your left.Enable fire at will and guard mod to first cohorts.Keep your general behind your infantry and roman cavalry on the right.When cataphracts charge attack them with everything you got.The aim is to destroy that armoured horses from hell.After destroying cataphracts go back to testudo again and wait to persian cavalry's charge.When they charge break again testudo and attack them bravely.I hope you will win but the most important thing is to be on that hill when cataphracts charge-that's your way from hell.
