Very true,the Alans are often underrated on various forums even though they were quite the capable warriors and subjugators. People usually think that the Alans were the
of a few Germanic tribes and the Huns,but it wasn't like that in most cases.
I was really nicely surprised when i saw the Taifali cavalry unit for the various Germanics in Attila,though i wonder if they'll give them a Germanic or Asian appearance( since we all know what's going on with the Sarmatians.........). Their stats are quite nice though,regardless of the appearance - plus they`ve got bows on top of being melee cav.
On the Agathyrsi,the elite ones are my favorite unit in the game no doubt. They are pure murdering machines
They look beautiful with the Sarmatian robes ,falx and chain mail/scale armor too.
The worst part is,the appearance change would take a trivial amount of time,or even to create new units and balance them out. It literally took me less than 5 mins to create a full Alani roster without making them overbloated,without Germanic units and to be totally balanced for both MP and SP. I will be creating another balance thread very,very shortly after Attila's release like i've done in the past,and hopefully it'll balance out the Sarmatian units - who,as it stands are really really
ing weak.
Even Moorish lancers have better charge than Sarmatian cataphracts >_<
@ Cagatay i love you m8 but old Alanian/modern Ossetian really have no similarities with Turkic except some universal loan woards in my opinion. I do speak Ossetian
