Notes[edit | edit source]
Mysteriously the first iteration of Age of Empires by Hong did not have a horse archer unit for the Saka (then occupying the slot for the Dacians) and the Saka of this mod still don't. In any case, they will have to rely on mercenary power - and Wealth - to get wherever they want.
