Peasants
|
Attack: 3
Defense: 3
Price: 120
|
Poor morale
Can sap
|
Most basic unit of all. However, it's useful if you want to "transfer population" from one settlement to another (Show me How). These are a bit tougher.

Price: 290

Can hide in long grass

Low-class infantry; however, cheap and okay for the start of the game.

Eastern Infantry

Attack: 3
Defense: 10
Price: 330

Bonus fighting cavalry
Poor morale
Can sap

Worse than the Hillmen, in my opinion. But these two are the only infantry available to this faction! So you must learn to combine them both in an army to achieve maximum efficiency. However I massacred 3700 of them with Cataphracts, losing only about 20 people - so you have to rely on the cavalry.

Rock and roll baby! The best cavalry unit there is, matched perhaps only by other Cataphracts and roman Praetorian Cavalry.

Really wierd mix, but seems to yield results. Camels are scary (for horses, that is), plus armoured as tanks...

These are like bulldozers, smashing everything in their path. However, out of pain they may run uncontrollably around.

Typical light cavalry that you will use if you some more cavalry in your army. This one has camels as mounts (they terrify horses).

The most basic archers, in faction you're likely to rely more on Horse Archers and Persian Cavalry, but these are nonetheless useful.

Inaccurate against troops

The last attribute is totally unjust. These machines are priceless whe taking cities because they are able from a safe position to devastate enemy forces which are behind the walls, leading to panic. With luck and skill you can exterminate half the enemy army before going in.
