Grettings, this is my first mod for Total War Rome 2, so i thought what better place to upload it than nexus.
i want a revival of TWR2 modding community in Nexus, and i guess this is my first of many contributions.



this unit is called: Parthian Noblemen Infantry, is a super heavy melee Infantry unit,

but also is capable of using a composite bow instead of a javelin,

the unit is extremely slow, slowest of all infantries,

as par with all end game tier units, this unit encourages the nearby units, giving them a boost to their morale,

extremely high defensive stats, highest amongst end game tier Infantries,

lowest melee attack amongst all End game tier Infantry units,

high weapon damage due to using bronze longswords,because the weapon damage, is not just a measurement of its slashing or
thrusting capability, but also their reach, penetrating power and stability,

this unit also has a special ability called: "Baastani Defensive Stance" , the ability consists of two parts:
part 1 a positive buff which increases the unit's melee defense, bracing power, armor and morale, while also stops the Unit's fatigue penalty for the duration.
part two a negative effect that decreases their melee defense and overall speed while causing a massive fatigue penalty.
both phases last for 45 seconds and the ability has a 300 seconds cooldown,



Historical Facts
due to using a long sword, and just like their roman counterparts, having the best military technologiesof the time
available to them, the swords used by the Parthians had a higher quality than any Germanic or Gallic races or factions,
and since Romans used Gladius, even amongst their most powerful Legions, they always had the issue of Reach and weight on
their weapon, which gave a well armed enemy infantry an advantage in offense, for which reason it would make sense that
the overal damage of the Parthian Melee weapnons would be higher than the Gladius while being only slightly higher than a
weapon created by Gauls or Germanic tribes, since their military technology was not as advanced as the Romans or Parthians,
but they still used Longswords, which meant they had no issue fighting toe to toe with another warrior using a Longsword.
so in conclusion, a longsword would more weight, reach and piercing power due to its smaller width than a gladius,
for which reason all longsword Users in the game must have a higher damage output on their weapon damage, becaue it doesn't
merely reflect a weapon's damage but also its penetrating power, speed, reach, weight, and stability in offense or defense.




"Baastani" is a martial art unique to the Iranian tribes which hail from the Illamese Kingdom that has over 12000 years of
legacy, and as far back as 7000 years ago, the Baastani Martial arts was practiced by these people and their successor
Aryan tribes withing the Irania plateau, Baastani martial art consists of extreme heavy lifting, physical conditioning,
and spinning around with arms outstretched for a long time, which would help battle the fatigue in muscles and calms the
mind, a practice that is unique to this martial art, as such practitioners had extremely high endurance and could lift
heavy objects while walking and running with them, while also have a high physical readiness, and the spinning helped
fighting the fatigue in the muscles after such heavy lifting, masters of this martial art were known to have been spinning
for over two hours straight without stopping or resting.
