Persian Mounted Warriors

In eastern climates, it is advantageous to ride where those on foot would falter.

The Persian war machine differed greatly from that of the west. Gone was the reliance on a backbone of columns and infantry; instead, the eastern empires fielded heavy cataphracts, drawn from the nobility, as their main strength. These powerful shock troops were complimented by horse or camel archers, to harry the enemy and keep them under pressure. On foot, the Persians fielded light spearmen levies supported by an elite division of archers to back the cavalry and rain death upon the enemy. Also, the cataphracts were often aided by the hammer-blow of the terrifying elephant corps, upon which great importance was placed due to its magnificent power.
