[EB] How to make Western barbarian factions more balanced against Hellenic and East

[WinsingtonIII]

Proposals for factionals:

Sauro- add skudra tabari , skuda uaezdaettae ( to enable some non-ranged options , making i easier to respect the rules and still field a good army)
- add one of the following -Aspet hetselazar /mezenai/asiatikoi hippeis- sauros rly need factional medium non-archer cav.

Getai - add scythian foot archers

Pontos & rest o successor - make thracians mercs ( except maks , they can keep them , that's their flavour)

pontos - make scythians mercs

The Sauros already have the Scythian Noble Cav as a factional... but it is a heavy, not a medium like you want. I think the generic Eastern Medium Cavalry is probably the best choice to add as a factional medium, the others are a bit too unique, and I think people would complain less about adding such a generic and not very good unit.

It is true that it doesn't necessarily make sense for Pontos to get Scythian foot archers as a factional and for the Getai to not get them as a factional as well, considering the lands of the Getai and Scythians actually overlap.

The Thracian peltasts already are mercs for every successor faction other than the Maks, so no need to change that. If you're seeing a lot of them being used by the AS, then that player is using all their merc slots on them.
