Countdown to Open Beta - Sauromatae

[Steppe Merc]

Thanks to Angadil for his great (and very long) faction desc.

The lancers would use a two handed grip for their kontos once that is fully implemeted.

Heh, even I'm excited to see the Sarmatians, finally.

Big John, they can recruit foot archers while nomadic. They have to conquer to get higher infantry, however.
Most infantry would be non native, however, for example when the Scythians started to settle down, many of the settled Scythians became infantry. It is far more difficult to keep a large herd of horses in settled lands than in the steppe.
