    Default Shikaka

    Hey, i've started a campaign as Saka Rauka and need some desperate tips, I understand it might be quite crucial with what order you do stuff in as you've got sod all money and towns.

    The persians just took chach which I had which has buggered me over and basically i've got sod all troops.

    Also, what buildings are any good for boosting up cash, they all seem to just give public order bonuses (i've built all the population and trade ones that i can afford yet).

    Cheers for any advice.

    Saka Rauka, which I have never played as, is quite possibly the most difficult faction in the game. If you're new, you may want to try an easier faction.

    There's somebody who won a Saka Rauka campaign, and posted exactly how he did it. He links to it in his signature, I think the post is in the faction progress thread (stickied thread in the aar subforum)

    Hey, PP is an EB god. I was there from the start, before he discovered this site. *Feels proud to have witnessed the birth of a god*.

    I don't come here a lot any more. You know why? Because you suck. That's right, I'm talking to you. Your annoying attitude, bad grammar, illogical arguments, false beliefs and pathetic attempts at humour have driven me and many other nice people from this forum. You should feel ashamed. Report here at once to recieve your punishment. Scumbag.

    Yeah, I noticed that only after I'd posted it so I let it be. Plus, I couldn't find an original clip of that without excessive trouble (as in checking 2+ clips for it, I'm lazy) when I looked for it.
