    Heh, yes I've already been called a masochist at least once for doing both Saka Rauka and Saba in VH/VH.

    I haven't been ableto get this together, but I really want to see a battle between a mighty, balanced, veteran seleukid army and the same for the Saka, both led by 10-star leaders. I'd probavly take the seleukids, but it would difintly be hard-fought!

    The side controled by the AI looses.

    Though if human control the seleucids it take a bit long to catch all the HA.

    Quite nice; a very good show of how to play the Saka early on. My AAR shows a more aggressive approach early on, taking more settlements but requiring a couple years of treasury rebuilding. This is a fine approach as well.

    Question Re: 1.1 Saka Rauka Gameplay Guide: How to Get Out of Debt Fast and Other Assorted Thi

    Excellent guide...it helped me a lot in my own Saka campaign. I took all those rebel/seleukid towns, then marched my armies so that I could take both Parhavian towns in the same turn. Neither Nise or the other city had a garrison, so....that was it for Parhavia. Then, I took Baktra and found out two things.

    1. The Baktrians took a city in the far east.

    2. There is a full stack marching towards me.

    Hope I can handle it...

    Two questions:

    How do the reforms work? I got them, but none of my units changed...all my settlements are recruiting the same thing. And all the "reform building" does is give me a history of the Real life Saka. Any advice?


    How do I get cataphracts? Which building do I need?

    Existing units don't change. Just build new barracks in former Greek/Indian towns and you will get the reformed units.
