    Some kind of reform would be nice for the Sauros, but Idon't know what kind .... well maybe one to give them dismounted Nobles - change of terrrain usually leads to change of tactis and/or fghting style.

    I recommend that you take a few of the nearby steppe towns so that you can get regional horse archers or something so that at least you'll be better equipped to deal with raids from the steppe. It's much cheaper than stomping around the whole area with giant phalanx armies.

    Alan Nobles in Gava Maszakata, Sarmatian Nobles in Uspe are available for the AS. The former are the only cav' apart from generals (who are, more than often, nomadic nobles mercenaries) I use in my current AS campaign. Once you have them, you love them.

    Apart from the cavalries, I found out that Voinos is all Sauro need when it comes to infantry..... cheap human eating spearmen are awesome... they sent all the Makedonians I found running with their tail between their legs.....
