Is there any historical document or reference to what weight was on the bows of the saka, or pahlavians? 45 lb draw weight? it is said that the Native americans did not often go above 45 lb bows, as that was enough to kill deer, or elk. I would love to know so i can buy another bow that the scythians would have used.
This article at the following URL says they would not have been over 30 lbs. http[:]//www[.]atarn[.]org/chinese/Yanghai/Scythian_bow_ATARN.pdf
I was really considering buying me one of these. the Scythian version to be precise. I know its a ridiculous price, but i really want an authentic Scythian bow to hunt with. EB 1 made me fall in love with steppe culture, and the awesome nomadic music. SO i started picking up archery and am getting quite good at it. Also can we please make Baktria have Stone roads/ be a major city at the start of the map? I think it severely limits saka players to not have a big city with a stone roads. I even give the baktrian faction lots of money and do process_cq cheat for them but they NEVER build a paved road.
