Anyone have success using these?
being a cav faction, parthia badly needs some infantry that can last a bit as a battle line to be your anvil.
in the late game they have the higher teir hoplites that look strong (haven't gotten there yet)
but early game, the only choices i see is the men at arms and persian hoplite
the men at arms just looks better overall with a whopping 80 armor and 25 ap, their melee stats a bit low but for a early game units its not too terrible...
however, their perfomance in actual battle just feels abysmal compared to what their stats should indicate.
they route very easily and generally dont even win against decent to good spearmen of the other eastern factions!
i thought it was the abundance of missiles softening them up from the other eastern factions so i checked their shield, they have 55 missle block which isn't bad either. (legions have 60 only)
am i missing something, do i need to stick with persian hoplites? they seem to have worse stats all around
