    Without doubt the Saka. Technically the Pahlava have a more interesting unit roster, but that's only due to their reforms, which they only get when they cease being a true nomad faction.

    RTW, 167 BC: Rome expels Greek philosophers after the Lex Fannia law is passed. This bans the effete and nasty Greek practice of 'philosophy' in favour of more manly, properly Roman pursuits that don't involve quite so much thinking.

    Where's the Gah! option? tsssk.

    Anyway it used to be the yuezhi, now it's the saka. Their more unique and I find them most interesting as I know little or nothing about them.

    EBII has another great nomad faction though. I think that's going to be my new favourite.

    You teaser...

    I chose the Sauros just because that was my first thought. But I like all three of them so I don't really have a reason why...

    If there's another Nomad faction it will probably be the Scythians or someone related to Cimmerian Bosphorus, so...

    I voted Saka, but I really like Pahlava upon reflection - they always annoy the Seleukids enough so that my Baktria can breathe.

    Looks as if it will have another "barbarian" faction as well... I bet it's the Boii.


    Voted Saka for their lovely units and their ability to adapt in certain way to Hellenic and Indian ways. Economically speaking, I like Pahlava best though.
