Dacians were close enough to the steppe to adopt soem Iranian styles.

Are those falxes going to be armor piercing weapons? And are there going to be falx-using regional units or mercenaries for other factions to recruit?

The Getai are definetly the best looking one of the "barbarian" factions previewed so far. I'll probably have to give them a try at some point. In fact this is probably THE faction that I'll want to attack northern Europe with.
