Great work as always
Nice to know thinks are progressing well (if you can do two previews in a week, it can't be too long before the release ... hopefully)
A small comment about the regions: Sources speak of two Alan kingdoms, the smaller of which can field 100,000 men, the bigger as many as 400,000 (according to both Romans and Chinese!). Anyway, from what I can ascertain, one is west of the Caspian, and the other on the east. Alans are also reported to have fought against the Pathians. Basically, I'd say the Alan region should be split in two to represent this, but of course, its your decision.
By the way, nice campaign map textures
Edit: That'll be a first... the Pannonians as a faction!

THIS...IS...SARMATIA!!!
Beautiful work, fantastically wonderful!! i love the Saka Nobles, they look tough as nails!
So I was looking at the starting location pics, and I noticed on the world minimap that there's a green-blue colored faction in the regions to the north of Pannonia...
Is that the secret celtic faction? Could they be... the Marcomanni? or the Quadi??

I think the blue ones are the Getae and the green ones right next to them the Boii, but we'll see
I was wondering what you guys were on about then I saw that in the screens that Tone put in for the starting location for the Sarmations included the radar map...
I did think of that when I was getting the screen for the starting location of the Gallaeci and cunningly stripped off the UI bits under the strategy map.
Of course, it could always be an elaborate hoax - after all where is China on the map.......

Gawd, how did I not see this earlier!? Brilliant preview guys! Now I know that Borat is actually a Sarmatian...
This will be my 2nd play. First, I will play my old favorite; The Seleucid Empire
My 3rd play will be Sparta, 4th will be Macedonia, 5th will be Carthage, and 6th will be Rome
I will renounce Medieval 2 until I get bored (which I probably won't)

http://www.cais-soas.com/CAIS/Anthro...sarmatians.htmThe greater part of the names occurring in the inscriptions of Olbia, Tanais and Panticapaeum are supposed to be Sarmatian, and as they have been well explained from the Iranian language now spoken by the Ossetians of the Caucasus (the Ossetic language), these are supposed to be the modern representatives of the Sarmatians and can be shown to have a direct connection with the Alans, one of their tribes.
By the 3rd century BC the Sarmatians appear to have supplanted the Scythians proper in the plains of what is now south Ukraine, where they remained dominant until the Gothic and Hunnish invasions. Their chief divisions were the Rhoxolani; the Iazyges, with whom the Romans had to deal on the Danube and Theiss; the Taiphali; and the Alani.
and

Ossetians are those still remaining "Sarmatians". Those remaining in the Ukrainian steppes, would be largely be part of Goths or Huns, such as Johanes, a Gothicized Sarmatian, who is the one speaking about how the Huns came out of nowhere to subdue the Goths who were living in present day Ukraine.
Those taking refuge in Thrace (and defeating the Romans) were Goths.
These were probably either refugees from the ancestral Sarmatian lands or operating under Hunnic overlordship.Sarmatians were still a force the Romans had to reckon with in the late 4th century AD. Ammianus Marcellinus (29.6.13-14) describes a severe defeat which Sarmatian raiders inflicted upon Roman forces in the province of Valeria in Pannonia in late 374, when they almost annihilated both a legion recruited from Moesia and one from Pannonia, which had been sent to intercept a party of Sarmatians who had been pursuing a senior Roman officer named Aequitius deep into Roman territory; the two legions failed to coordinate, and their quarrelling allowed the Sarmatians to catch them unprepared and deal a stunning blow.
