I read that Parthia will be in Rome. Will they be as an actual playable empire, or a revolter? I was just wondering when they came about, and what territory they're likely to control. I've had a glance at Wikipedia, but the image of the empire they provide is from after the game's end date. Will they be a native Persian civilisation, one to challenge the Seleucids and Romans? :)

To begin with they may be outside the map (not completely sure of where the eastern edge goes) but atleast if starting later they will be there obviously. I think one of the screenshots was with Parthia being played.

Well most of Iran is included on the map, so that's likely not going to happen. I would however, prefer the map included Khorasan(eastern Iran, aka all the "-istan" countries) as well as the Indus river. :( Parthia I think would be in the game already as a Seleucid vassal by the Caspian sea. Not much to play with their, they'll likely get diplo-annexed by the Seleucids early on. :rofl:

I don't know why Johan didn't have the Indus as the edge of the map. It's the natural border...

EDIT: Where's this screenshot of Parthia then?

Oh man... the RTW representation was horrible. Not only were they not around at that time... and maybe if they were they were off the map... but all the lands they had were actually selecud lands!

Parthia shall be Rome's true Byzantium! :D
except they shall not fall, but one day rise above the rest and with the horizon looking down upon them, they shall set their sights to Rome. Without looking back they ride, creating a dust storm in their wake. Rome shudders at the thought.

if you guys wanna play a rome total war game with parthia, you could try the europa barbarorum mod... it's very good
The battles are much better in RTR... and concidering battles is the only thing the total war games will have over EU Rome... I don't see the point.
