Nomadic Tribes Culture Pack could use a small map extension

**Kinjo** · August 23, 2013, 02:11 PM

After the announcement of the Nomadic Tribes Culture Pack I started to plan how I would build a Royal Scythian Empire to return it to its former glory. After messing around on the Rome II official campaign map planner I really didn't like how my core regions was shaping up and being pinned against the black sea really doesn't give the faction many options. However adding a few regions would do this area of the map some serious justice and give more open plains for your horse lords to move around on. The map could also use a route around the Aral Sea so the Scythians can recreate their historical invasion of Bactria in 140 BC.

New map extension option 1

New map extension option 2 (Route around Aral Sea)

Agreed, looks like a sensible extension to the map to make these factions more enjoyable.

Royal Scythian Empire? When I start playing as them they will be referred to simply as the Rohirrim and nothing else.

There will be no Rohirrim in this Golden mans army!

Excuse me, but what faction is the Royal scythian ? Are they the faction at Solokha ?

They are just called Scythia on the campaign map planner, I marked their starting location in yellow.

more Scandinavian barbarians please!

Well the map extension could be broken down into a couple of provinces, I was mainly trying to emphasize on expanding the map border. I don't think it would do the Nomad factions much justice to be pinned up against the Black Sea in a narrow sliver of land.
