Subject:
Subjects are the core of the Persian Empire. They collect resources and construct and repair all of your structures. |
|
 |
Royal Guard:
The backbone of the massive Persian army are the Royal Guard, elite Swordsmen that are specially trained to attack and conquer Outposts. |
|
 |
Noble Spearman:
Trained to provide defensive protection for your Archers, the Noble Spearman is extremely deadly when it comes to combating marauding enemy Cavalry. Their massive spears and lack of armor make them susceptible to attack by enemy Archers. |
|
 |
Noble Archer:
Only the most elite among Persia's Archers attain the rank of Noble Archer. Deadly accurate, they can attack the enemy from astonishing distances. Unfortunately, they have little defense against attacking enemy Cavalry. |
|
 |
Noble Cataphract:
Extreme skill with a weapon and expert horsemanship are the requisites to join the ranks of the Noble Cataphract. When deployed against enemy Archers and Siege Weapons, the Cataphract are nearly unstoppable. |
|
|
Trireme:
This massive ship is the largest in the Persian fleet and is the primary reason the Persians are able to control large swaths of the Mediterranean. An essential part of any extended military campaign, the Trireme pulls double duty as both a heavy siege weapon (when outfitted with a Naval Onager) and as a floating Barracks. |
|
|
Scythe Chariot:
Equipped with massive, spinning blades, the Scythe Chariot rushes directly into the heart of enemy formations. As it races through enemy ranks, its giant blades cut enemy soldiers to pieces. |
|
 |
Assyrian Horse Archer:
Because of their alliance with the dreaded Assyrians, the Persians can deploy the dreaded Assyrian Horse Archer. Brutal to the extreme, these warriors can lay waste to enemy Infantry. |
|
|
Elephant Archer:
From the eastern most edges of the Persian Empire come these ferocious creatures. Carrying Archers on its back, the Elephant Archer is both a deadly ranged weapon and the ultimate melee attacker. |
|
 |
Siege Ram:
When forced to contend with staunch enemy defenses, the Persian army sends in the Siege Ram. Not only does it smash through enemy gates, it's also more than capable of destroying key structures. |
