Tanukhids Military Tier 13

Mercenary Contracts

"I don't care who you are. You fight for us now."

The backbone of the Sassanid military was a strong cavalry core, drawn from Azadan nobility. These aristocratic families provided wealth to field cavalry and, most notably, created the hammer blow of armies in the cataphracts. They also levied their own province's peasants to form an ill-equipped, poorly-trained infantry, who were little more than cannon fodder. Yet holes in the military machine still existed, and had to be plugged. Specifically, the lighter cavalry, as well as higher class infantry, were drawn from Sassanid allies such as the Khazars and the Dailamites. Miscellaneous mercenary supplements were also employed to pad out the elite nucleus of Sassanid armies.
