Talk:Dacians

Dacians replace Odrysians. Odrysians were too hellenicised.

Faction Overview	Strategic Overview	History

The Getai have the power of Persistence.

128px Erstwhile allies of the Persians, the Getai have long dominated the Haemon and the Karpathoi thanks to their ancestral mastery of arms, and the vast riches of gold that lie in the mountains of deepest Dacia, their ancestral homeland. In fact, the Getai boast of having been the first peoples of all Europe to be involved in metalworking; this would seem empty but for the formidable arms and armour their nobles, the erstwhile Tarabostai, are clad in. And should Getikoi weapons be insufficient, their can always call upon their neighbours in the east, the Kimmeroi, to lend more muscle to the fight as raiding cavalry. These hallmarks of Getikoi military culture and civilisation are soon about to be put to the test. Revolts by the greedy Hellenes of Ionia have irritated the King of Kings to no end, nd there is talk that the Achaemenids are now on the warpath, intending to punish the Ionians as well as their collaborators in Athenai and Sparta for their impudence. As a people who lie in the warpath of the Persians, the Getai are now being called upon to choose their fate — to either function as a Persian myrmidon, or otherwise hold out and forge a path of their own, independent of the whims of either Hellene anax or Persian shah. Whichever it is will be dictated by your choices as leader of the Getai in the decades to follow.
