So i heard that the saka were a really tough team to be, and i tried. I played on med battle, Vh campaign. I must say, its been one of the easiest campaigns ive ever played. I have the eastern steps, all of iran, iraq, india and everything in between. I dont even have a real army, just 2 armies of 10 elite horsemen. I thought id be able to use more of the indo-greek saka units, but now that region is obsolete strategically. Now im having a hard time holding the huge iraq cities, any hints?Did i just expand too much, and im also curious about how other people played this fun faction.

What do you mean by "hard time"? I do not quite understand. Please elaborate.

Did you move your capital? Chighu (spelling?) isn't exactly centrally located.

yes, i moved the capital to baktra, and by a "hard time" i mean the saka, as a barbarian faction, lack the infrastructure to hold huge cities without a massive garrison.

i had that same problem with my saka empire... i think they r probably the easiest faction to blitz or create nd empire with but like u said unless the provinces r developed by civilized factions which they probably wont be cause of the blitz it is impossible to devlop liek the other factions... u could try building those buddist temples?

The shift button can be used to create capital letters.

Anyways, if you're good enough, all factions are easy. Also, it would also be feasible for you just to enslave the huge cities when you capture them
