Starting position of Pontus is better than it may seem.
Trapezos and Galatia are other easy targets to conquer.
Pontus army is a mix of eastern and Hellenic units.
You’ll find here hoplites and pikemen as well as horse skirmishers or scythed chariots.
Pontic swordsmen
Infantry used mainly to eliminate light enemy units and to support your army flanks.
They are ideal combined with hoplites or pikemen.
Hoplites
Very well armored units with high melee defense.
They are able to hold the front line until reinforcements arrive.
Bronze shield pikemen
Medium armored pikemen which are available for Pontus.
As all units capable of making phalanx, they are effective in the center of your formation.
Pontic peltasts
Skirmishers harassing the enemy units.
Due to the limited choice of projectile units, Pontus has to rely on peltasts or mercenaries.
Pontic royal cavalry
Heave Pontus cavalry, capable of breaking enemy heavy infantry ranks.
It has excellent charge but doesn’t cope well in longer fights.
Noble blood cavalry
Medium cavalry, capable of breaking ranks of enemy light cavalry and trampling enemy skirmishers.
Horse skirmishers
Cavalry with javelins.
More effective and more difficult to entrap than foot peltasts.
Scythed chariots
Battle chariots used to destroy enemy light infantry units and to break heavy infantry ranks.
Just like all machines, chariots are vulnerable to cavalry attacks.
