    Default Empire of the Steppes

    Hello everyone, I just re downloaded Rome after I heard the Rome 2 announcement, and I downloaded this mod after asking what was the best mod for this awesome game. So I started it up and (me being a lover of the horse archer) decided to lose my RS virginity to the Parthians. Any tips for starting off? I glanced at the map and I'm not sure whether to expand north into the Free Peoples, or combat the Seleucids to my south-west. Can someone be my Surena and tell me where to lead my horde of horse archers and cataphracts?

    Ally with Armenia, Pontus and the Ptolemais if you can and send the macedonians back to well... macedonia.

    So should I head north or south? From what I've read, those Sel elephants are intimidating....

    I read that, and now I am concerned about these elephants than ever. In general, what should my army stack consist of? And also, how do I get Parthian Cataphracts? I started up a game, had them, but I couldnt find where to train them.

    With parthians you always need to build the fortified settlement if you want barracks (stables).
