Royal Stables

Heavy horses, bred for stamina and strength as heavy cavalry mounts.

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	100	Cavalry / Shock Cavalry / (Bac_Cataphracts_Early) Baktrioi Kataphraktoi (Bactrian Cataphracts) During Alexander's conquest of the East, Bactrians often fought along nomadic cataphracts. The Greco-Bactrians, accustomed with the shock tactics of steppe warriors, have adopted such tactics before other Hellenic kingdoms. While not as heavily armoured as the classic Parthian cataphracts, these riders display the early evolution of cavalry into heavier units.

2	100	Cavalry / Shock Cavalry / (Bac_Cataphracts_Late) Baktroi Diorthomatoi Kataphraktoi (Bactrian Heavy Cataphracts) These elite Bactrian cavalrymen are extremely heavy cataphracts, borrowing from Parthian and Saka traditions and training. The combination of natural steppe skill and Greek training ethos has rendered these men some of the finest horsemen in the known world.
2	100	100	2786	2786								46	9	44	55	28	20	60
3	100	Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (Bac_Citizen_Cavalry) Politai Hippeis (Greco-Bactrian Citizen Cavalry) Greek settlers often fight as a cavalry force. They use similar equipment to their kin in the Mediterranean.
3	100	100	1706	1706								30	9	20	52	12	20	50
4	100	Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Bac_Heavy_Lancers) Baktrioi Diorthomatoi Hippeis (Greco-Bactrian Late Cavalry) As the threat of nomadic incursions has increased over time, Greco-Bactrians have adapted in order to counter the horse archers and cataphracts from the North and East. Their equipment is heavier than before, but they still remain swift on the battlefield.

5	300	Melee Infantry / Melee Infantry / (Bac_Hillmen) Kofyaren-i Bakhtarig (Bactrian Hillmen) These hillmen are bands of warriors from the various tribal clans native to the Pamir mountains of Bactria. They are fierce in battle but have poor equipment and are better suited for ambush tactics.
5	300	300	404	404								27	11	12	44	1	20	45
6	120	Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Bac_Horse_Archers) Shivatir-i Bakhtarig (Bactrian Horse Archers) Light, ranged horsemen are the most common sight in Bactrian cavalry forces. They are not able to hold for a long time in close combat, but if all goes well, they will never need to resort to this.
6	120	120	931	931				10	150	5	15	27	11	15	26	4	20	40
7	100	Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Bac_Lancers) Baktrioi Xystophoroi (Greco-Bactrian Cavalry) The threat of nomads is always looming for the Greco-Bactrian kingdom. Bows, long weapons, and medium armour allow these men to combat the horse archers and heavy cavalry of their nomadic neighbours.
7	100	100	1771	1771				10	150	5	15	36	9	28	39	12	20	50
8	120	Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Bac_Light_Horse) Asabaran-i Bakhtarig (Bactrian Light Cavalry) These lightly armoured native horsemen are armed with spears and javelins. They were once prized by the Persians and are now used by their new Greek rulers in the same fashion.
8	120	120	851	851				14	85	9	5	28	9	20	36	2	20	40
9	120	Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (Bac_Medium_Horse) Baktrioi Hippeis (Bactrian Cavalry) Bactrian horsemen form the majority of Greco-Bactrian mounted units. They are the first troops sent to stop incoming attackers in order to buy time for rest of the army to assemble. While they do not use the best equipment, they are very fierce warriors.
9	120	120	1595	1595								33	9	22	35	12	20	45
10	100	Cavalry / Shock Cavalry / (Bac_Royal_Cav) Baktroi Aristoi Hippeis (Greco-Bactrian Noble Cavalry) Bactrian nobility has been incorporated into the ranks of elite heavy cavalry since Alexander the Great added them into his Hetairoi and Agema regiments. Now, riders of mixed origin give this unit great versatility. Their trademark palm leaves are depicted on Bactrian coins.
10	100	100	2280	2280								46	9	35	48	16	20	65
11	36	Elephants / Elephant / (Ind_Armour_Elephants) Kataphraktoi Indikoi Elephantes (Indian Cataphract Elephants) Clad in scale armour, these elephants are a terrifying, almost unstoppable force.
11	36	36	4000	4000								13	6	17	55	16	110	40
12	36	Elephants / Elephant / (Ind_War_Elephants) Indikoi Elephantes (Indian Elephants) War elephants are a wave of flesh, unleashed against the unwary.
