Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Lack of good armour, satrapies (provinces) that were overly powerful with their separate armies, too much reliance on these separate satraprial armies (which meant small central army), mountainous terrain in the Iran plateau that hindered communication and so fractured national unity,and (like the Roman Empire as it declined) constant wars to determine who would be the next ruler, even when the office passed from father to son!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
