Saka DEI Extended

Description
Welcome to my Saka DEI Extended mod. This mod adds three more units to the Saka (and a few minor visual tweaks to a couple of their current units) as part of their unique reform system which is already in place. These units aim to simulate their evolution from the Saka to the more settled kingdom of the Indo-Saka. I have tried to go as close to history as possible but the sources on the Indo-Saka are limited, so have been creative with the mod.

As per the current reforms, you MUST hold all of Transoxia and Bactria for a minimum of 20 turns before the reforms will trigger. Now for the units -

Suguda Hippeis (Sogdian Cavalry) - Sogdian cavalry in service to the army of the King of kings.

Baktroi Pezoi (Bactrian Infantry) - Native infantry of the newly conquered kingdom of the Indo-Saka. Armoured in Indian iron, they are a mainstay of the Infantry of the Indo-Saka.

Indikoi Doriphoroi (Indian Spearmen) - Lightly armoured and not well trained these fighters are still valuable spearmen in service to the Indo-Saka.

As usual if you guys spot any bugs or have any issues please feel free to leave a comment, send me a message or head over to the Discord for which I will post a link for and ill get back to you as soon as I can. Also happy to hear any suggestions you guys might have about any of my current work and anything I plan to do in the future. This mod is compatible with my other released mods.

I'd like to thank the DEI Team without whom none of this would be possible, for their tireless work and effort in working on the mod. If you have not tried DEI, I wholeheartedly suggest you do as it is a fantastic mod and is a requirement for this mod and will be in the requirements section.

Thanks for having a look, I hope you enjoy.

@Jack - no worries, I’m always interested to learn more. When I eventually get round to updating this once DEI releases their version I’ll go through all of your reference material you kindly posted.

In the Zend Avesta (Sacred Books of the East, American Edition, 1898.)
Airyana Vaeja (Abode of the Aryans) is described as a land that has 10 long months of winter.

“At the swift draught the Soma-drinker waxed in might, the Iron One with yellow beard and yellow hair.”

"The Great Yuezhi are located about seven thousand li [2,910 km] north of India. […] The skin of the people there is reddish white.

Among the barbarians in the Western Regions, the look of the Wusun is the most unusual. The present barbarians who have green eyes and red hair, and look like macaque monkeys, are the offspring of this people.
