Saba
These guys suck, don't use them in custom battles.

Careful, that could offend someone.

Truth hurts. What he said is true. Only way he could change that is add some less-unflattering adjectives. Saba are like a handicap: you can still win, but with great difficulty. They are not unique. They are quite rotten. Employing "different tactics" is a euphemism for "they are lousy so I have to be very samrt and innovate greatly to win".

I would also change your description of horse archers as "invulnerable" to heavy infantry. They are very vulnerable if heavy infantry manage to engage. Perhaps you could say they are the nemesis of heavy infantry as they are almost impossible to catch or something similar.

This is a good idea - I migh try to make a Saka quide after I'm done with my exams.

Horse archers are really not "invulnerable". As said by johnhughthom they are rather "Just" dangerous for infantry (exspecially light meele troopers who have no armor for protection

)...

I agree. Why didn't you just post this on my guide in EB game play
guides and AAR's? Like it any way.

I missed that i guess. Anyway i can't found it even now.

O, and i think i've typed something wrong in my previous post (because of my bad english). I wanted to say that Charthaginian army rooster have some similarities with roman and Hellenic army rooster, and that's why i think that Carthage shouldn't be in "Hellene" category. They have their own hard coree troops though. So, put them in special category gamegeek2

And... i can't resist: you can put romans together with other barbs as well. Would be nice
