| 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 |

| Baktrioi Kataphraktoi (Bactrian Cataphracts) During Alexander’s conquest of the East, Bactrians often fought along nomadic cataphracts.
