The Sassanids (Empire Divided) Battle Tier 6

The Immortals

The feared Immortals were an elite infantry unit of the Achaemenid Empire. According to Herodotus, there were always exactly 10,000 of them and were so named since whenever a member of the unit was killed, wounded or in any other way unable to serve, he was instantly replaced by a new soldier. The Sassanids revived this ancient Persian tradition by creating an elite force named 'Zhayedan' or 'Immortals'. Unlike the Immortals of old, the Zhayedan were a cavalry unit. Trained to be the best of the best, Sassanid commanders usually kept their Zhayedan horsemen in reserve, unleashing them at crucial moments to devastating effect.
