I'm about to start a Saka campaign. There's something attractive about the purity of the nomad lifestyle. A horse beneath you, the wind at your back, and nothing but rolling plains ahead...

I also feel like going on a migratory rampage, and these guys are going to give it to me:

  • Fast-moving nomad generals.
  • Fast-moving cavalry armies.
  • Ranged troops that can kill without dying, which means I spend more time fighting and less time training new men in a barracks.
  • Ability to recruit core troops from anywhere on the map.


I'm thinking we'll establish our new homeland in Thrace and Makedon - a nice, safe distance from the Yuezhi and Xiong Nu. Then we'll pour the resources of the rich Aegean into the efficient Saka military machine and see what happens next.
