The name says it all, this time the test is about the Nomads. I included Pahlava even though they become settled later in the game.
Mine is Pahlava.
Favorite Nomad Faction in EB?

Pahlava. Best colour and best looking cataphracts.

Re: Favorite Nomad Faction in EB?
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.
Re: Favorite Nomad Faction in EB?
Saka, I have too much personal experience with them (see below)

Baktrian Catanks look better.
Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.

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
Re: Favorite Nomad Faction in EB?
EBII has another great nomad faction though. I think that's going to be my new favourite.
Re: Favorite Nomad Faction in EB?
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...
Re: Favorite Nomad Faction in EB?
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.

Pahlava-only ones with freely recruiteable Clibinarii, rather than tying them to FM's. excellent cavary too.

Re: Favorite Nomad Faction in EB?
Pahlava are best Nomads cause they can settle down and civilise and have normal build trees. So you can build a big empire with big cities. Not just a bunch of tents here and there.
