Nizagan Bakhtarig (Bactrian Levies) Herodotus notes that Bactrian warriors are commonly armed with spears, shields and light armour. These men are drawn from the lower classes of society.
Class: 3 Size: 300

Melee Dmg/AP

Kofyaren-i Bakhtarig (Bactrian Hillmen) These hillmen are bands of warriors from the various tribal clans native to the Pamir mountains of Bactria. They are fierce in battle but have poor equipment and are better suited for ambush tactics.
Class: 3 Size: 300

Melee Dmg/AP

Baktrioi Therentioi Pezoi (Early) (Bactrian Assault Infantry) The exotic climate and animals are a shock for Hellenic troops, but not enough to break their spirit. Curved swords, axes and heavy blades are the perfect weapons to pierce thick elephant hide, while light armour allows for better movement in difficult terrain.
Class: 3 Size: 300

Melee Dmg/AP

Baktrioi Doriphoroi (Bactrian Infantry) Equipped in the typical Bactrian manner, these troops are fierce infantrymen, although their light armour makes them easier targets.
Class: 2 Size: 200

Melee Dmg/AP

Politai Hoplitai (Greek Colonists) Greeks are the most common western colonists in Bactria. They are settled in their own city-states and do not share their privileges with natives or even other colonists. Armed as typical hoplites, those soldiers fight in a phalanx.
Class: 2 Size: 200

Melee Dmg/AP

Katoikoi Phalangitai (Early) (Macedonian Settlers) Macedonian settlers are only a small part of Greco-Bactrian society. Their sole purpose is to fight in the ranks of the disciplined pike phalanx.
Class: 2 Size: 256

Melee Dmg/AP

Yavana Somatophylakes (Yavana Guard) Yavana is the name given originally to Greeks, then later to all westerners in India. King Menander had his own group of these bodyguards and advisors that would accompany him at all times. Their equipment is similar to that of elite hoplites.
Class: 1 Size: 200

Melee Dmg/AP

Thanvare Bakhtarig (Bactrian Archers) These men are skirmishers primarily, and not inclined to close with enemy troops. They are armed with a powerful composite bow and a long dagger suitable only for defence.
Class: 3 Size: 175

Melee Dmg/AP

Zubindar-i Bakhtarig (Bactrian Javelinmen) These lightly armed javelinmen can harass and disrupt the enemy battle line.
Class: 3 Size: 175

Melee Dmg/AP

Palkhandar Bakhtarig (Bactrian Slingers) In battle, slingers are used as light skirmishers, troops with no armour or melee weapons but daggers, who rush forward against the enemy to pepper them with stones, only to flee when threatened.
Class: 3 Size: 175

Melee Dmg/AP

Baktrioi Peltastai (Early) (Greco-Bactrian Peltasts) Peltast combat is similar to the Bactrian philosophy of combat. More like medium infantry than skirmishers, Greco-Bactrian Peltasts are solid troops that are perfect for supporting the heavier and slower phalanx.
Class: 2 Size: 175

Melee Dmg/AP

Asabaran-i Bakhtarig (Bactrian Light Cavalry) These lightly armoured native horsemen are armed with spears and javelins. They were once prized by the Persians and are now used by their new Greek rulers in the same fashion.
Class: 2 Size: 120

Melee Dmg/AP

Baktrioi Aristoi (Bactrian Nobles) Bactrians fielded some of the heaviest cavalry units of the Achaemenid Empire, now they form the backbone of early Greco-Bactrian shock troops.
Class: 1 Size: 100

Melee Dmg/AP

Baktrioi Hippeis (Bactrian Cavalry) Bactrian horsemen form the majority of Greco-Bactrian mounted units. They are the first troops sent to stop incoming attackers in order to buy time for rest of the army to assemble. While they do not use the best equipment, they are very fierce warriors.
Class: 2 Size: 120

Melee Dmg/AP

Shivatir-i Bakhtarig (Bactrian Horse Archers) Light, ranged horsemen are the most common sight in Bactrian cavalry forces. They are not able to hold for a long time in close combat, but if all goes well, they will never need to resort to this.
Class: 2 Size: 120

Melee Dmg/AP

Baktrioi Aristoi Hippeis (Greco-Bactrian Noble Cavalry) Bactrian nobility has been incorporated into the ranks of elite heavy cavalry since Alexander the Great added them into his Hetairoi and Agema regiments. Now, riders of mixed origin give this unit great versatility. Their trademark palm leaves are depicted on Bactrian coins.
Class: 1 Size: 100

Melee Dmg/AP

Indikoi Elephantes (Indian Elephants) Elephants, along with chariots, are the most prestigious troops in the Indian ranks. War elephants are large, fierce, and unpredictable beasts, terrifying in battle. They are the ultimate shock troops available to any commander, so are used to break enemy lines.
Class: 2 Size: 36

Melee Dmg/AP

Kataphraktoi Indikoi Elephantes (Indian Armoured Elephants) Towering over most other creatures, these war elephants can easily scare men and horses alike with both their size and smell, though elaborate bells and trappings often add to their intimidation. They carry archers, but they can also gore and trample opponents.
Class: 2 Size: 36

Melee Dmg/AP

Baktrioi Thureophoroi (Thureos Spears) These well-trained warriors are a flexible force of skirmishing spearmen.
Class: 3 Size: 300

Class: 4 Size: 300

Melee Dmg/AP

Baktrioi Therentioi Pezoi (Late) (Greco-Bactrian Assault Infantry) The exotic climate and animals are a shock for Hellenic troops, but not enough to break their spirit.

Class: 3 Size: 300

Melee Dmg/AP

Baktrioi Peltastai (Late) (Bactrian Peltasts) Peltast combat is similar to the Bactrian philosophy of combat. More like medium infantry than skirmishers, Greco-Bactrian Peltasts are solid troops that are perfect for supporting the heavier and slower phalanx.
Class: 2 Size: 175

Melee Dmg/AP

Baktrioi Xystophoroi (Greco-Bactrian Cavalry) The threat of nomads is always looming for the Greco-Bactrian kingdom. Bows, long weapons, and medium armour allow these men to combat the horse archers and heavy cavalry of their nomadic neighbours.
Class: 2 Size: 120

Melee Dmg/AP

Baktrioi Kataphraktoi (Bactrian Cataphracts) During Alexander’s conquest of the East, Bactrians often fought along nomadic cataphracts. The Greco-Bactrians, accustomed with the shock tactics of steppe warriors, have adopted such tactics before other Hellenic kingdoms. While not as heavily armoured as the classic Parthian cataphracts, these riders display the early evolution of cavalry into heavier units.
Class: 1 Size: 100

Melee Dmg/AP

Baktrioi Diorthomatoi Hippeis (Greco-Bactrian Late Cavalry) As the threat of nomadic incursions has increased over time, Greco-Bactrians have adapted in order to counter the horse archers and cataphracts from the North and East. Their equipment is heavier than before, but they still remain swift on the battlefield.
Class: 1 Size: 100

Melee Dmg/AP

Katoikoi Pisidoi (Pisidian Settlers) Brought to India to settle in military colonies, Pisidians constitute an important part of Indo-Greek armies. While they do not wear much armour, their skills in skirmishing and melee combat more than make up for it.
Class: 2 Size: 200

Katoikoi Kretikoi (Cretan Settlers) Renowned for their skill with the bow, Cretans have been offered to settle in military colonies in India. Exceptional ranged abilities and high-quality equipment make these men deadly on the battlefield.
Class: 2 Size: 175

Melee Dmg/AP

Yavana Heroikoi Hippeis (Yavana Heroic Cavalry) Indian sources mention a Greek cavalry unit, 3000 men strong and call them, heroes among men. Their equipment is similar to that of the native Bactrians, consisting of javelins, swords, and shields.
Class: 1 Size: 100

Melee Dmg/AP

Baktroi Diorthomatoi Kataphraktoi (Bactrian Heavy Cataphracts) These elite Bactrian cavalrymen are extremely heavy cataphracts, borrowing from Parthian and Saka traditions and training.
