Just for fun:If we just change the Saka to Waka.

[Edouward]

Before the battle ,the war cry will be "Waka Waka!"and the General say:"You are good soldiers,choosing your battle..."And at last :"This time for Middle Asia!

[Cute Wolf]

Wellcome to the ORG Edouward! Enjoy your stay!

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

this comment after this will be fully a historical comments (pun intended)

seems funny enough, but did you knew that some nomad tribes in Central Asia called themselves Waka...

they had a very advanced, but expensive tactics of scorched earth, equipping their lowest horse archers with arrows with hemp cloth banded, a bucket full of oils, and of course, some torches to light em up! they are notorious for causing forest fire and made india into inhospitable desert and cause global warming!!!

their second rate soldiers will be wolf riders, somewhat not too docile at first, and they will scare a lot of mere human forces by throwing heads soaked in red paints (for dramatic effects), and afterwards, they will close in and let the wolf eat the frightened men.

and their first rate regulars are not mere cavalry, they are not fully human either, as they are clone lancers, equipped with lazer tipped lances and riding jet powered motors, they had lightsaber for melee...

[Edouward]

Hello to everyone.
Thanks a lot,Cute Wolf ,I can't hardly imagine you are so educated.Edouward is my french name,it should be Edouard(in english,Edward),but I often make a mistake.
I'm a guy from China ,my favorrite general is Hannibal ,I think he is the sun in battle field all over the Roman time.In our country there's a lot of people playing TW series.But as we are chineses,it's not easy for us to konw so much about it,the histroy of Rome.
And as for myself ,compared with my friends,I know much more than them about the history of Rome.And I like it.And I think EB is excellent,I remember one time ,I used Saba,and one general get a trait because he crossed Nile for several tomes:Swimming in Nile,add plus 1 morale.I was totally shocked by the detail.
And I promised,if I can make a lot of money in the future,I shall donate some money to EB.
And at last ,glad to meet you,educated and cute wolf,and everyone.

Oh,my english is not very well,but I finally found that:Are you making fun too?

[Brave Brave Sir Robin]

No, I hope no one's making fun of you. The more you use a foreign language the better you get. If I posted in a foreign forum in say, Spanish, I'd think it would be much worse.

You're using Google translate, aren't you?

[Olaf The Great]

[seienchin]

Welcome to europa barbaforum. ^^
If I had to be reminded of that horrible song everytime I go to battle I would never again play as Saka^^.

[Edouward]

That wasn't the case for this guy:

[Olaf The Great]

I can understand the Heavy hoplites, but why go for Greek Cavalry?

[seienchin]

Who knows?
But making a strong saka foot army might be a funny surprise for the enemy^^.

The person was a newcomer to the online field and it was his first (and I think last) online EB game. I haven't seen him since. I'm almost sure it is simply that he does not have the free time necessary to play the game online. And I was expecting a heavy HA army but he brought a strong foot army, with still very powerful Iranian cavalry forces. A great game that I almost lost against a newcomer!
