The Sarmatians - I'm dirt poor

[Dram]

On a side note the Sauros can recruit their factional horse archers anywhere on the map, which can be either useless (in the forests of Germany) or awesome (everywhere else.)

The sauros still need a nomad hidden resource so they can implement nomadism though right? They have awesome HA's. The Aorsi riders are probably the best value HA's - 290 upkeep, some armour/shield and have a spear with 27 charge.

I chose Saka over Sauromatae in my latest campaign because I noticed that when I clicked on enemy ports it didnt say anything. When playing as any other faction it says something about increased trade routes. I assumed that Sauromatae cannot build ports or recieve income from ones that they capture... does anyone know if thats right?

Edit: Just tested it myself. They can use pre-existing ports. However they cannot build more anything more than 'coastal clearing' in a nomad or pastorialism province. I just did this in Cheronesos, but if they captured a city where they can install a client ruler government they might be able to build a basic port.
