Doubly so because that same backside is most of your economic provinces and thus undefended. If you dont remove them early before they start churning out heavy horse archers they become a real pain in the backside. However I disagree with the opinion on not attacking steppe nomads. They are also the only faction I have played two full campaigns with, the second being the aforementioned "diplomatic victory".Īs stated above Bactria does have an easier start. The first thing I did after losing the tutorial was throw myself in legendary with them. Parthia is my favorite faction in the game.
One game I used this to forge a web of alliances that resulted in a military victory with only around 24 settlements held by my faction. The Selucid wars can present a unique diplomatic opportunity for both Parthia and Baktria, as usually everyone hates the Selucids. However, as an eastern faction they also will draw the wrath of the Massagetae.įor Parthia it is usually better to play nice with the other eastern factions outside of Parthia itself and focus on destroying Baktria and the Nomads all the way to the Black Sea.
Parthia starts with a single minor settlement and must find a way to complete their province while dealing with a hostile Baktria.
They have several cities to work with and can easily devour their weaker eastern neighbors like Parthia while waiting to see how the Selucid satrap situation plays out.įor Baktria it is probably best to start out with peaceful relations with the Steppe Nomads while devouring the East and supplanting the Selucids. Baktria has pikes and better infantry.īaktria has an easier start. Parthia has better horse archers and more cost effective options for good melee cavalry.
