These Parthians are such pests! Must remember to bring plenty of archers and cavalry when I tangle with them. Sounds good but still anxiously awaiting the Second Punic War and the Gallic War.

Is the entire expansion Parthian or is it just one/two maybe three (Crassus, Trajan, Marcus Arealus) with some other scenario's thrown in? Personally I'm hoping there's something besides just Parthians though I definitely will buy it first thing no matter who it is.
The Parthians were always difficult opponents to the Roman legions. A force relying mostly on heavy infantry can be in serious trouble against armies that have large numbers of light cavalry armed with bows.
I hope you've found a way to improve the performance of cavalry in battle. I don't want to see the Romans butchering light cavalry like nothing, if they can't even catch them!

I suspect that nothing will happen here until ACW-II gets released later this year as all hands seem to be on deck for that title. Then look out Parthia!
I understand an American Civil War game will probably be more profitable than anything else you can make, considering how popular that conflict is among wargamers in the US (and to some extent also elsewhere), but I hope to see many more expansions for AJE too in the future. There are many ancient periods and conflicts that aren't yet included in AJE.
No reason to worry, Parthian Wars expansion is going to be released most probably in the Autumn, and another expansion is already being prepared by our Master historian, ElNino.
As long as there is interest and support, we plan to stick around...
