Of Mail and Men

[gamegeek2]

EDIT: Historically, Iranian nomads' women were often as good as their men at battle, albeit not as practiced (kinda like the women of Sparta). Who do you think guarded the Scythian homelands while the Scythian men tore up the Near and Middle East, ravaging Assyria and Babylonia and extracting huge tributes from Egypt to turn them back? Who spawned the legend of the Amazons? Well, it was the Iranian nomad women, famous for their unnatural skills as warriors compared to more "civilized" peoples. Asysani was simply raised as a son (her father didn't have any before his accident in battle) and has taken this to the extreme. Remember, this is historical fiction.

EDIT 2: Progress update: About 258 BC. Have wiped out Pahlava and Baktria. Trying to build an economy and expand into India; Gandhara is simply the most awesome region in the game for about anyone, especially the Saka (Indian Longbows + Guild warriors,Indo Heavy Cavalry, Hellenic Guard + Cavalry,more. Only Scourcouw really competes for awesomeness).

I Have Kophen, Chighu, Gava-Maszakata, Chach, Marakanda, Baktra, Khiva, Nisa, Alexandreia-Eschate, Antiocheia-Margiane. Aiming for Takshasila, Sulek (which'll feature something funny).
