    The point is it was not desert.

    It wasn't a sand dune environment, no, but it does have desert areas.

    The "does have areas" part is the key. Do you think they would live and fight in the desert and mountains, or rather the lush green valleys to the northwest?

    Depends on where the threat is coming from, our knowledge of Achaemenid history is very much incomplete.

    There was no threat from the south of Fars, a largely uninhabited region.
