* If any Arabs are bought, all must be bought.

**If any Greek allies are bought, all must be bought. These troops represent the various allies/mercenaries that with or for the Parthians including the Seleucids and Commagene.

*** If any Armenians are bought, all must be bought. If the Armenian package is purchased reduce the number of available Bonus Parthian cataphracts by one.

**** If any Sarmatians are bought, all must be bought.

NOTE: Greek Allies, Armenians, and Sarmatians may not be used in combination. Indo-Parthians may not be used with Greek Allies, Arabs, Armenians or Sarmatians. Additionally, the Camel unit and the Greek City Militia may not be used with Indo-Parthians.

NOTE: The Greek City Militia is not a part of the Greek Allies package. These were recruited from the "Greek" cities that came under Parthian control. Thus the LI can be purchased separately or in combination with the other available packages with the exception of the Indo-Parthian.
