The Sparabara, meaning "shield bearers" in Old Persian, were the front line infantry of the Achaemenid Persian Empire. Here they can be seen in a NEW formation ability - Hollow Square. Provides the same bonuses as the Square ability, but with less bracing, and leaves the middle hollow where you can place more vulnerable units such as archers.

They also get a bonus called “first strike”. When charged, they will inflict an amount of damage automatically once the enemy makes contact.

The faction of Persia will be available in Patch 5, which has yet to be released as of uploading this video.
