[EB MP]3.0 Thread - Testing and Updates

So basically, Saka deserves a two-way era division but no obligation to name era pre-battle?

Sorry for lack of clarity, lol. Figures that I forgot to clarify the central point of argument :D. They deserve neither a two-way era division nor an obligation to name era pre-battle. I doubt they will deserve this for reasons outlined above; though I am confident that should they be OP, and I change my mind, I will tell you guys. May I suggest that we start off without any such limitations, do a few test battles, and then decide on this particular issue? I hope this is a decent compromise?

We can figure out Saka after we make it. Afterall Macs can take a mass hoplite + companion army of arguably similar effectiveness.

True. We never had an OP issue with the steppe factions, even Saka. Perhaps this is more due to the civ vs steppe legacy army compositions. Brave Sir Robin, you brought up the division proposition. Do you think without the civ/steppe division, a freehand Saka player will have an OP faction in his hands? I certainly hope not, but after y'all play around with Saka upon its being ported to the 3.0 system, we can figure out if indeed such a divide is needed.
