Saka Rauka - Europa Barbarorum Intro

[BrugesFan23]

Lol, looked up my roman name.

- Mamercus Postumius Victorinus

[biggieboy2510]

Should this be included in the mod? because I have never seen it in the mod...

[Canaris3]

Im playing as Bactria and those fuckers are annoying as hell ;/

[biggieboy2510]

@Canaris3

yeah, they're tough... hiding in the woods helps, because arrows have little effect there, and units with bonus in woods help extra.

[Canaris3]

@biggieboy2510

find me some woods on a steppe :D

im pretty much using against them a 16 century style of warfare - mix of pikemans and archers , with supporting cavalry :) works pretty nice but is costly and time consuming :/

This campaign needs some serious rushing if you're not going to get swallowed up in debt.

[tuskin4]

the Saka peoples came from cental Asia they were driven out of there homes by the Kushans and the Sakas set up three kingdoms in India Western Satraps,the Kingdoms of Yavanas and Saka

yavanas=greeks?

[iseeallforme]

yes Yavanas are greeks

[androume]

thanks

[tuskin4]

i thought it was

Yavanas=Sakas

but there Greeks?

[iseeallforme]

@tuskin4 yes the indian word for people such as the Ionians, mentioned in the Edict of Asoka

[JacobTheIndoAmerican]

@tuskin4 Yavanas is term that used for any one from the west of India. Indians called Arabs to Greeks Yavanas. But in this time frame yes its Greek. Sakas are a group of people from central Asia that spook an Iranic language that came to parts of the Indian subcontinent and formed small kingdoms.

[yohopirate]

Great mod. Intro to Epeirus is incredible

[RTRVII]

although I'm an RTR fanboy I will always have much much respect for EB. Awesome mod and I'm glad to be your concurrent! Salve!

[Anubis1SS]

EB is the sexiest mod ever.

[ArtoriusMaximus777]

Indeed! :)

[yashil17]

wait, so the narrorator or whoever it was writing was a Saka Rauka?

[ArtoriusMaximus777]

Actually, I think the narrator is supposed to be a Bactrian or northern Indian.

[yashil17]

true since he's talking about them, does the game or mod tell anything about the Saka origin or history?

[jirisysklatoon]

@ArtoriusMaximus777 Yavanas=Persians who lived in Baktriana (I think?)

also, he says "the master of my ancestors" so possibly an indo-greek?

[FreezingShock]

@jirisysklatoon Actually, 'Yavana' is the Indian word for 'Greek.' It is derived from Ionia. Therefore, it is likely that the narrator is an Indian who is speaking of the Graeco-Baktrians as the 'masters of my ancestors' as they were later replaced by the Saka.

@FreezingShock

The things you learn in 3 months :)

I know now that it's wrong. But didn't know that back then.

[FreezingShock]

@jirisysklatoon Whoops, I didn´t look at the date. Sorry :P.

[LuxxyLux1]

@ArtoriusMaximus777 how do you get this intro, i never got it when i pick Saka Rauka.

[TheGhostOfCato]

@LuxxyLux1 You need to be on EB 1.2, you may well not be... other than that I cannot think why

[shitonMOHAMMAD]

@yashil17

there are no more Saka raucae, they settled in Afghanistan and India eventually
