Dealing with the Saka as AS

[Megas Methuselah]

It's really nice when the Sakas try to charge with 7/8 family members through your walls and get impaled their royal family (or burnt by boiling oil).

Yes, it is nice, especially when you know those bodyguards, composed of the heaviest cavalry in the Saka hordes, could wipe your stacks off the map without a drop of sweat in open battles.


For the OP, personally, I tend to avoid cavalry factions. I would just give my territories on the steppe to Baktria to act as a buffer. If Baktria ends up fighting you, beat the living heck out of them, make them a vassal, and give them back those territories.
