Saka Guide

[Wolfman]

Does anybody know of a guide to playing this faction. I really Like them
but I keep loosing money. And by the time I capture my first settlement I can't train any troops because I'm in the red. Some Help would be useful.
Thank You

They're still so unfinished that we don't have a guide for them yet. The first thing to do though is make sure you capture bin-kath, then get trade rights with Baktria. Disband any units you aren't using - like the one in your capital city, just leaving the general. Then I'd think about trying to take Gava Saka quickly too if you can get some fast units up there to help your other guy. You'll go through turns much more quickly though.

It's hard to play them now without a little supplemental income coming your way too, so either send a diplomat out to sell your map, or something like that. Use your generals' units a lot, over and over too, in battles. Hit and run. Take them out a little each time. They won't get tired of sitting in enemy provinces like the settled factions.

Thank you for the help I've been doing much better in my saka campaign. And thanks to all the rest of the wonderful people working on EB. Keep up the good work

In my campaign, Pahlava just walked straight over Baktrian territory with a large army, and took Bin-Kath.

Was a bit cool, but the campaign went to hell.

It's the closest rebel city that looks "takeable" from the Parthian perspective. They do it a lot in 0.80. We are giving them more spies for 0.80 in Seleucid provinces, so we hope that they will take more of an interest there - but they don't start at war, so it's hard to make them stay around there.

Will the Saka Rauka be more complete in 0.81? For example, will their recruitment be fixed (in 0.8 they can only train Saka nobles, for some reason)? Will they have any new units at all?
