Great guide mate , thank you very much .

If only the game didn't CTD after major battles , but then , every battle fought as the Saka is a major one , however after having the - financial - ability to retrain , things are going rather smoothly , the battles have become less stressfull , and I just wait the Baktrians to declare war on me ( they actually accepted a peace offer and have kept it for over 6 turns - WOW ) .

My generals are indeed monstrosities , but I already knew that , having played as the Sauromatae .

By the way , is it me or is Saka cavalry a bit slow ? I haven't played the Sauromatae under 1.2 , not even 1.1 , but I was under the impression that they moved faster , if this is right I will have some trouble against them . Anybody who knows please share some info on the matter .

Anyway , off to my empire building .
