Unit Roster[]

Persia has a fairly poor unit line up, with no Line Infantry equivalents, average melee infantry, and very poor light infantry equivalents.

General Information[]

Persia is quite large for a minor nation, initially controlling four regions, all of which contain many wealthy towns. As it borders the crumbling Mughal Empire and the disorganized Ottoman Empire, its initial position is quite secure. Its high wealth and stability is tempered by its mediocre unit roster, meaning that it can be defeated quite easily by almost any organized foe that manages to reach it. It is the only land bridge between Europe and India.

Trivia[]

  • The Persian agents incorrectly speak Arabic in the campaign map.
