The Sassanids (Empire Divided) Army Tier 3

Levies Equipped

The Sassanid army, being heirs to the Parthian military tradition, emphasised its cavalry forces. Its infantry units usually played a support role and were of various levels of training and armament. Spearmen and bowmen were often mixed together and sometimes accompanied cavalry in battle, harassing the enemy with projectiles as the horsemen moved in for the charge. Often, during a march, the army gradually increased in size, as soldiers were recruited from territories loyal to the Shahanshah. Specific peoples of the Sassanid Empire were known to be particularly militaristic and produced excellent foot warriors; such a people were the Daylamites, whose high quality troops gained them a sort of semi-independence.
