Parthia (Imperator Augustus) Military (Stables) Level 3

Royal Stables

Noble horses are fitting mounts for the best of cavalrymen.

Eastern cavalry had both Hellenistic and Persian influences, with the more easterly states favouring cataphract-style scale armour, in the Parthian fashion, protecting both rider and horse. As a result, the Seleucid kings that followed Alexander maintained two 1,000-man units of elite cavalry, the Hetairoi, modelled on Parthian cataphracts. Following the Alexandrian and Parthian examples, heavy cavalry were a hammer in the tactical toolbox of eastern generals, driving off their opposite numbers before outflanking and exploiting vulnerable infantry flanks. This was helped by the use of a wedge formation to drive into the enemy and break their ordered lines.

1	120	Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Eas_Armour_Horse_Archers) Shivatir-i Zrehbaran (Parthian Cataphract Horse Archers) These horsemen are the elite of the Parthian kingdom; they are highly trained, manoeuverable, and hard-hitting heavy cavalry. The use of skirmishing and rapid manoeuvers by shock cavalry are important elements of Parthian battles, and the Zradha Shivatir are masters at this.
1	120	120	2537	2537				11	170	7	15	36	9	35	42	24	20	65
2	120	Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (Eas_Atr_Median_Medium_Cavalry) Asabaran-i Madaen (Median Medium Cavalry) These excellent medium cavalry are capable of skirmishing, charging, and fighting fairly well in melee. They are raised from the old Persian estates which were not seized by the Macedonian invaders.
2	120	120	1946	1946								36	11	24	52	16	20	55
3	120	Cavalry / Shock Cavalry / (Eas_Cataphracts) Asavaran-i Zrehbaran (Parthian Cataphracts) The heavy cataphract cavalry provides the hammer which forces infantry to stand their formations, providing the horse archers with a perfect target. “Zradha Pahlavans” means “armoured heroes.” These cataphracts have proven their worth time and again, at Carrhae and in every recorded Parthian victory.

4	120	Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Eas_Horse_Skirm) Savar-i Zubindar (Dahae Skirmisher Cavalry) These Dahae tribesmen fill a vital role in the clan host. While they do make excellent skirmishers, this is not their only calling. They are warriors of the steppe and wield spears with skill and courage, willing to close with the enemy when the odds are in their favour.

5	120	Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (Eas_Noble_Blood_Cav) Asavaran-i Azadan (Iranian Noble Cavalry) These spear-armed cavalrymen fight well in close combat, making them a useful striking force.
5	120	120	1881	1881								33	9	31	40	18	20	55
6	120	Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Eas_Noble_Horse_Archers) Asavaran-i Dehbed (Parthian Noble Horse Archers) The Dehbeds are members of the Azat nobility of Parthia, and can afford better equipment than typical horse archers, including scale armour and a lance. They rely on the composite bow to weaken their enemy before closing for melee. The Dehbed cavalry is a very flexible force, extremely mobile and able to provide concentrated archery or, when required, to drive home a charge.
6	120	120	1888	1888				11	160	7	15	30	9	31	29	16	20	55
7	120	Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Eas_Parthian_Horse_Archers) Shivatir-i Pahlavig (Parthian Horse Archers) These cavalrymen are recruited from the clan warriors of Parthia, and originally come from the steppes of central Asia. Like their ancestors, they learn to ride as soon as they can walk. The Pahlava Shivatir form the backbone of all Parthian armies. Led by the Dehbed minor nobility into battle, these Bandaka (bondsmen or retainers) rely on missile fire as their primary asset.
7	120	120	679	679				10	150	5	15	21	11	13	29	2	20	35
8	120	Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Par_Dahae_Horse_Archers) Daha Baexdzhyntae (Dahae Riders) Dahae riders carry a long spear and a shield along with their bows and are willing to press home a charge if circumstances are right. As such they are some of the finest light horsemen available to the Arsacid kings of Parthia.
8	120	120	787	787				10	150	5	15	26	9	20	34	2	20	55
9	120	Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Par_Dahae_Noble_Cav) Daha Uazdaettae (Dahae Noble Cavalry) These noblemen can harass an enemy line like skirmishers and charge into unprotected flanks and rears when the opportunity presents itself. Daha Uazdaettae are equipped with composite bows and lances making them a versatile and dangerous foe.
9	120	120	2353	2353				11	160	7	15	33	9	33	48	22	20	60
10	120	Cavalry / Shock Cavalry / (Par_Late_Cataphract) Pahlavan-i Grivpanvar (Parthian Late Cataphracts) The Grivpanvar are some of the most highly skilled nobles that the Pahlava have to draw on. The elite of the clan host form this armoured fist: one of the most powerful armoured cavalry units the world has ever seen.
