Paruuch can be conquered by just spear fighters or slingers. Just two barracks of each would work for your purposes. Warriors are too weak and slow, horsemen are also too weak, and stone throwers are also extremely weak.
Thanks, but the thing is, building 5 barracks takes a very big amount of space, did you do it when you were in BA?
I can see how it can be cleared with just spear fighters, but slingers are weak against the stone throwers. The thing is, what about the provinces after paaruch? Do you reconstruct and keep 2-3 barracks and replace depending on the province you want to take or do you build all 5?
So for the province with 3 ballista, you'll have to use 8 spearfighters. Heavy losses there as the ballista will pick off a couple of spearfighters, and that last legionnaire can be a bit of a hassle.
2 spearfighter barracks and 2 slinger ranges were enough for me to conquer the rest of the Iron Age map (with the exception of the top sector in East-Nagach. I negotiated that one.) You'll have to use your judgement to find the appropriate mix of troops. You could add a stone thrower barrack for 4 stone throwers to battle the top sector of East-Nagach.
I just used 8 spearfighters, and it will be a tough fight even after an infiltration. Horses might get killed by soldiers and ballista too quickly to have any use, and the warriors are too slow that the ballistas would wipe them out.
What does infiltration do?
Oh okay, thanks
I finally did it as well. I constructed 6 (2 spears) xD
