Re: section H

Swordmaster is correct. The devastation script gives cash for "foraging" an enemy tile. This is from the "forager" trait that Sweboz and Saka Rauka generals can get (Sauromatae may also get this, I'm not quite sure about them though).

Why do Sweboz and Saka generals get this trait and not Romans or Gauls for instance?

Because Romans usually did not go out in small warparties to raid neighbouring villages. They came in full armies to raid and submit the entire land.

But the trait applies if they have a big army too. And the early Germans were the only people who went out in small raiding parties?

Using this with large armies doesn't make sense because you might as well take the settlement and make much more booty.

Also, I'm pretty sure the Anabasis still works.

I don't understand. You don't suffer knocks against morale for leaving your province, no matter how big your army is. Yes, if you are only conquering the provinces right next to you and do so within a season every time, then it makes no difference. But that rarely happens in my games.

Why not giving the trait to the Parthians or Saka? Don't they have some kind of history of small scale raids between settlements? Or hunting as they travel by horseback?
