I mentioned the Sarmatia because in all three campaigns that I have started, they blitz across the steppe and press Saka and Parthia in the East, and Sweboz, Epiros, and Getai in the west. They capture the Crimean penninsula within five game years, and just keep on going. I have only played about thirty years into my campaigns, and in each of them Sarmatia is one of the big three superpowers... at least until they meet me!
