Thread: Eastern Satrapies

  1. #1

    Default Eastern Satrapies

    Most of us must have noticed that the Seleucids' satrapies are mostly Eastern by culture, and much similar to Parthia in map models and generals. However the majority of their units are hellenic and minority eastern. I think this is weird despite the Alexander's conquest the base of these armies should be Eastern archers, infantry and cavalries and only the elite units should be greek or greek in style.

    But at the moment I see factions like Persia and Drangiana spamming armies of Pikemen and Thorax swordsmen which seems to be a bit odd and unaccurate for these factions. And since the greek population was fewer in these satrapies than the eastern people I think there should be units who are eastern by looks but fight in a hellenistic way, for example Eastern Pikemen or Persian Peltast.

    Does any one know if CA is going to retouch these factions or is there already a mod doing something about this?

    Well the armies of the Hellenistic kingdoms did not represent their demographic makeup. It's weird to me that the satrapies are separate factions in the first place.
