From our governor's house we train peasants, the cheapest soilders that are not good for much. We have armies very similar to our Parthian neighbors, but with a local twist. When played by the Lord AI Armenia generally tries to expand into the steppes against the Scythians, but I would suggest against that seeing as they are very poor regions. Personally, I would suggest that your first move should be to invade Phraaspa, quickly before the Parthians do, as it is a rather rich settlement with a meager defense and can provide defense against Parthia. Positioned there is Rusa, the heir to the throne of Armenia, along with two units of peltasts, one unit of foot archers, and one unit of horse archers. It has everything that your capital has in the way of buildings, yet it does not have stables as of now. However, Kotais can be invaded by a coastal passage along the Black Sea, and is also open to the steppes. This will be your richer town seeing as it has a port on the Black Sea. To the northwest of your capital Artaxarta lies your second town, Kotais. Finally, your spy Prusias sits in Southern Armenia ready to spy and provide map information about your rich and weak neighbors to the south. Your diplomat, Menua, is positioned south of your other town, Kotais, and he is ready to make deals for your faction. One of your family members, Aramu, is stationed to the east of Artaxarta with three units of horse archers. Positioned there is our king, Artaxias, one unit of cataphracts, two units of horse archers, and two units of peltasts. This large town has a villa for our governer and faction leader, Artaxias, plus a wooden palisade to protect our livestock (and us), stables to recruit our mighty horse archers, barracks to recruit the lowly Eastern Infantry, and an improvement over slash-and-burn farming. Our glorious capital lies in Armenia proper, and it is the gem of Artaxarta. Our mountains provide a natural defence for our land, and there are many routes through the mountains to prey on our rich neighbors! However, our lands are not very rich themselves, for if you are playing on a very hard campaign, both of the cities' adjusted income is still below 0 denarii. We sit in the middle of many factions, but are well protected from attacks.
However, we have our own way of fighting, as we are greater than even the Parthians, because we are the true heirs to the Persian Empire! Our Lands First the Persians conquered us, then Alexander did. We are a people who, like the Phoenicians, have been part of many empires.
However, great traveler, if you wish to create an empire while controlling Armenia, then there are a few things that you must know about our home. Welcome, great traveler, to the rugged mountain land of Armenia! We have been expecting you for ages, and now the prophecy that Armenia will be an empire should finally come true.
