I do have a plan for this faction, to eradicate everything in their path. Slaughtering, looting, destroying, leaving nothing behind and move on. Start from homeland traveling west until spain, then down to africa and travel east until India and up to SAKA region then back to homeland. Objective is - a whole map of Eleutheroi, except Sauromatae homeland. Army strategy is - outside homeland region use all mercenaries and regional units in front, keeping every factional units survive the journey as much as the gods wish. Economy strategy is - use all possible resources to upkeep a 3 full stack army without negative income. If necessary will spend sometime in a big city or two before destroying it. Spies and diplomats will play a important role here, as allies and ambushes are necessary for this insane plan.
