Yes, lion masks do look Kewl don't they?

As for me, the Sauromatae, simply becasue they are, and will always be, a Ancient Russia

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.

Not even close to the Russian steppes my freind.

Really in Need of Occultus signatures.

It's not the Yuezhi because there will be no emerging factions...
Could it be the Kamboja/Asvakas? An Iranian people in what is now Afghanistan, that fought with Alexander's armies?

They did migrate into India during the latter half of the EB time period.

Whatever it may be, wouldn't another Steppe faction make it awfully crowed there with Baktria, Saka, Pahlava (and Seleucids).

Voted for the Saka as they get the best of both worlds with excellent cavalry and then good infantry with the indosaka reform. They also have in my opinion the best horse archer unit in the game the Saka Early Nobles. The only annoyance is that theire settlements can't reach above city level.

My guess is either the massagetae or a numidian tribe as they were at least semi nomadic.

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.
