 …
      * '''Figure(s): '''A strong, well-built and confident-looking fellow (should really look like a combat veteran).
    * '''History:''' The Immortals or Anausa was the name given mistakenly by the Hellene historian Herodotos to the Perisan profesional elite infantry known as the Anusyia or Companions. The regiment was the core of the Achaemenid army, a standing force that remained in permenent attendance to the Great King all year. These men were not recruited from the nobility, but from the combat veterans of the levy army. The Anusyia's arms and armor being provided by the Great King himself. The regiment may have been able to keep unit strength at 10,000 through a combination of excellent pay, elite status, and the fact they were never dismissed from service.
    * '''Function:''' Primarily an infantry slaughterer, although very helpful against enemy cavalry too (thanks to their spears). Weak against Greek and Macedonian phalanx (owing to their inferior armour and weaponry) and decent archers (owing to their not so good armour). The Anusyia should be tougher then the rest of the Persian infantry due to their veteran status and their abilty to function as Persia's flexible rapid response force. Should be tenacious like the Sparabara.
+   * '''Function:''' Trained at the 'Tacara' Special Building. Primarily an infantry slaughterer, although very helpful against enemy cavalry too (thanks to their spears). Weak against Greek and Macedonian phalanx (owing to their inferior armour and weaponry) and decent archers (owing to their not so good armour). The Anusyia should be tougher then the rest of the Persian infantry due to their veteran status and their abilty to function as Persia's flexible rapid response force.

+ * '''Generic Name: Bactrian Lancer. '''
+ * '''Specific Name: Bakhtris Asabari. '''
    * '''Class:''' Cavalry Lancer.
    * '''Hacker Armament:''' Kontos Lance (all iron; 3.6 metres long; two-handed weapon; held the kontos with his right hand towards the bottom of the spear shaft, while the left was in front about 2 feet forward. Then the spearpoint was held on the left side of the horse's neck. So if you looked from the top, the kontos would be at a slight angle from the horse's line of symmetry; absorbed the shock of a hit, since there were no saddles or stirrups to cushion the collision for the horseman). Cosmetic akinakes -- since Cataphracts were drawn from the wealthy upper class -- and they would used these at close range after charging with kontos (hacking, 2.5-3m long).

    * '''Name: Great King's Levy'''  The Persians could and did levy a large number of infantry during wartime due to the sheer size of the Achaemenid Empire and the way in which it was set-up. In general the Persian infantry was well trained and fought with great tenacity. However while this was true the infantry were poor hand-to-hand, close combat fighters. Also, with the exception of the elite regiments, the Persian infantry was not a standing professional force.
    * '''History:''' See above
    * '''Effect: ''' All Persian Citizen Infantry units have -20% reduced training time to represent their quick mobilization and light status in comparison to the other civs. In consequence, their infantry also have -10% Health.
