（二）派系简介
“The Sassanids are the latest in a line of Persian empires stretching back almost 1,000 years.”
Sassanid vassals consolidated their power in Fars before seizing control of the Parthian Empire. Since then, their lean, centralised administration has revitalised and expanded its boundaries. Such prominence inevitably attracts opposition, however, and the Sassanids now find themselves in a delicate situation. Forces from without threaten their control of the Silk Road, while the Eastern Romans undermine them even in times of peace. Yet the Sassanids cannot be slowed by such things. As their claim to the throne is rooted in military prowess it is imperative that their recent conquests continue, lest control be wrested from Persian hands once more.
Beginning the campaign with a number of satrapies under its control, the Sassanid Empire enjoys an impressive recruitment base and level of income, and stands ready to expand. An educated people, the Sassanids understand well the link between cleanliness and health, and plan their capitals around the provision of sanitation.
萨珊王朝是延续了近千年的波斯文明血脉上的最后继承者。
萨珊的各路诸侯早在安息帝国全盛之前就开始在法尔斯积蓄力量。从那时起，他们把主要的精力放在休养生息和逐步扩张自己的势力范围上。萨珊人的逐渐崛起引起了附近其它势力的警惕，他们发现自己正处于一种极其微妙的境地。东罗马帝国军队虽然没有直接威胁到他们掌控的丝绸之路的安全，但却在逐步蚕食他们的势力范围。这是萨珊人无法容忍的。现在萨珊人拥有强有力的军事力量，他们必须尽快征服孱弱的安息帝国以防止别人捷足先登。
游戏开始的时候，萨珊人已经有了一定的势力范围、足够的兵员以及来自丝绸之路的丰厚财政，萨珊人可以立刻开始他们的征服之路。除了强大的军事力量，萨珊人还很在行城市的规划和建设，他们现在已经开始在计划如何让他们的首都变得更加整洁和完善。

萨珊重装矛兵，颇有希腊密集阵遗风。
