BACTRIA - faction & units - general discussion

[Antiochus]

We know that will be a province 'Bactria' on the campaign map and will be Bactrian faction with 4 regions.

We don't know Bactria will be playable Free-LC or DLC, but this faction will be.

How looked Bactrian units roster? In mods there are very difference between Bactrian roster.

I think Bactrian will have:

- phalangites (Hellenistic Sarissoforoi),
- native phalangites (Bactrian region native phalanx),
- elite phalangites (Hellenistic Agema),
- thureophoroi,
- thorakitai,
- cavalry (looks like Hetairoi),
- guard cavalry (heavy armored),
- war elephants,
- native horse archers,
- Hellenistic and native archers

What are your types?

- phalangites (Hellenistic Sarissoforoi),
- native phalangites (Bactrian region native phalanx),
- thureophoroi,
- cavalry
- guard cavalry (heavy armored),
- war elephants,
- archers

This should do the trick

I guess roughly the same as the seleucids but lacking the most elite hellenistic units but with some additional eastern iranian skirmishers, and some horse archer options.

[karamazovmm]

my type is to make bactria playable and seleucids can rot in hell or to the nearest most disagreeable place

[Barbarian Nobility]

You can add also heaps of mountain tribesman skirmisher type units would be my pick, along with some horse archers...

I would like to have a few indian troops for the Bactrians.

[Maleventum]

iranic cavalry, indian archers & elephants

the Baktrian Roster of Europa Barbarorum is a dream.

I hope CA's Baktria will be similar to that.

It would have been even better if they weren't so limited by the RTW engine.

[Grimbold]

Your typical hellenistic roster with the addition of local units

Bactrian units:

They seem to be the Greek troops. (Hetairos and Hypaspistes)
I am wondering how the natives would look.
Impressive image nevertheless

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

These are Kushan's native troops. Probably similar to this.

Wow these are some great images +rep

[vietanh797]

The sword are native for those in black sea, I guess the Bactrian use the same sword style?

[Antiochus]

I think that Bactrian will have unit which we seen in last screen - Pontic infantry. It will be recolored.

[Marcus Aemilius Lepidus]

It is not a playable faction, so expect a radom mixed rooster of hellenistic and irano-indian units.

[Spartacus041]

I really hope they make a Bactrian DLC

That way we can have Greek, Bactrian and Indian units all rolled into one faction. Quite ecclectic if you ask me.
