Well our time frames nomads were not particularly renowned for their prowess in pitched battles. The issue remains that armored archers will beat the poop out of any non-cataphract horse archer units. For example, 1 Bosporan Archer can take on at least 2 light horse archer units. Widely available Syrians and Cretans will also easily handle them. At least the Saka get armored infantry to compete. Sauros are the faction which gets screwed most.

Problem with that theory is that linen armor is not much protection from an arrow, and archers did not carry around huge thureos on their arm -_- . At present, culture for whom archery play an almost non existent role can completely outmatch every archer unit nomadic factions can bring .
