1 |
Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (Scy_armoured_lancers) Skythioi Lonchophoroi (Scythian Armoured Lancers) These armoured lancers wield a lancia: a one-handed lance, shorter than the kontos, mainly used by the Sarmatians. They also have a light thureos shield of wicker backed with leather, covered with painted linen, as well as leather and scale armour, and modified Greek-style helmets. |

Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Scy_noble_bodyguards) Skythioi Basilikoi Somatophylakes (Royal Scythian Bodyguards) In a few words, these are the finest cavalrymen in the West, taking into account the western Scythians, from the Pontic Steppe to Thracian and Germanic lands. These elite nobles are not only skilled with their kontos lances, but are more versatile warriors, using bows, longswords and sagaris axes. |

Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Scy_noble_cavalry) Skythioi Aristoi Hippotoxotai (Scythian Noble Horse Archers) The Scythian nobles are superb horsemen, with finely crafted bronze and even gold scale armour, their equipment highly and sumptuously decorated with golden animals. They wear a Greek-style scaled linothorax, a small crescent or rectangular shield made with iron lamellar plates, greaves, and Greek helmets. |

4 |
Cavalry / Melee Cavalry / (Ste_Noble_Lancers) Skuda Uaezdaettae (Scythian Noble Cavalry) The Skuda Uaezdaettae, or Scythian nobles, fight in a manner almost more similar to the Greeks than their nomadic ancestors, preferring the xyston or spear to archery, even though they still carry composite bows. Equipped with a fine linothorax reinforced with metal scales, long pteryges, and a Greek-style bronze helmet, they are still a deadly cavalry force, though not to the extent they once were. |

6 |
Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Scy_armoured_archers) Skythioi Epilektoi Toxotai (Scythian Armoured Archers) Less common than their mounted equivalents, these heavy Scythian archers dismount to operate in woods and rough terrain. They are very well protected with a light and flexible Greek linothorax, complete with bronze or bone scales. They wield sagaris axes, but the wealthiest also use longswords. |

7 |
Missile Infantry / Missile Infantry / (Ste_Archers) Skuda Fistaeg Fat Aexsdzhytae (Scythian Foot Archers) These archers are not well outfitted for hand to hand combat, as all they carry is a short sword or small pickaxe, and no armour but their thick jackets and bashlyk felt caps. If unsupported, they will be easy prey for cavalry or aggressive infantry who are fast enough to catch them. |

Melee Infantry / Hoplite/Pike Infantry / (Scy_elite_infantry) Skythioi Logades (Scythian Chosen Spearmen) Meaning chosen men," these professional soldiers are the evolution of the foot squires of the noble cavalry. Eventually the shield bearer role would develop into a rank of lower staff officers spread throughout the army, reporting directly to the king.They are heavily armoured with linothorax, a helmet, greaves, and Greek shields." |

Melee Infantry / Spear Infantry / (Scy_spearmen) Skythioi Doryphoroi (Scythian Spearmen) Scythian spearmen are raised from settled groups of formerly nomadic people. As they abandon their traditional way of life as nomadic herdsmen, more and more of their warriors become infantry. The equipment of these troops reflects substantial Greek influence, which is quite evident in, for example, the large oval thureos shields that these infantrymen carry. |

13 |
Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Scy_heavy_horse_archers) Skythioi Kontophoroi Hippotoxotai (Scythian Heavy Horse Archers) These armoured horse archers fight with a versatile panoply: the bow, a battleaxe, and a kontos lance. For the most part, they wear flexible Greek-style leather armour, with scales made from iron, bronze, or more commonly bone or horn, which is easier to collect and shape. |

14 |
Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Scy_Horse_Skirmishers) Skythioi Hippakontistai (Scythian Young Horsemen) Young Scythian horsemen are not all able to practice the difficult art of mounted archery. When needed, they can act as raiding cavalry with javelins as well, like their neighbouring tribes. |

16 |
Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Scy_reform_horse_archers) Skytho-Sauromatai Hippotoxotai (Scytho-Sarmatian Horse Archers) As the Scythians progressively fall under Sarmatian influence, they adopt the equipment of their enemies. The Sarmatised" Scythian kontos bearers are a pure product of this evolution. They still use close-combat weapons and their bow as the main armament in any occasion." |

17 |
Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Scy_reform_mounted_peltasts) Skytho-Sauromatai Hippopeltastai (Scytho-Sarmatian Mounted Peltasts) Although the horse archer is the backbone of any nomadic army, mounted javelineers are used as well, mostly in close quarters on rough terrain, in ambushes and night raids. Scythian and Sarmatian heavy mounted skirmishers carry large shields, a bunch of javelins, and leather and scale armour. They are skilled and can also fight dismounted with various weapons, but the most common are the sagaris battle-axe and the akinakes. |

18 |
Cavalry / Missile Cavalry / (Ste_Horse_Skirm) Skuda Baexdzhyntae (Scythian Light Horsemen) These light riders are from the Scythian tribes to the north of the Pontus Euxinus (Black Sea). They rely on a long sword, bow and shield (typically, the crescent shaped, leather faced, taka shield of the Scythian peoples) and are some of the most effective light horse available. These light horsemen will prove of little value in a hand to hand clash against disciplined infantry and care should be taken not to waste them in such a way. |

Medium Ship / Melee Ship / (Bar_Medium_Raider_Nomad) Medium Assault Raider - Saka Tapabara Longboats able to withstand rough seas, these ships' crews can capture enemy vessels in any weather. (Saka Axemen) In addition to their iron sagaris axes, these warriors carry fire-hardened javelins. For protection, they carry square reed shields reinforced with leather, which, though light, are very resistant to missiles. They are best used for flanking already engaged foes or as lightly armoured shock troops, but if tied up in a lengthy melee against more organised or professional enemy warriors, they will soon break and flee. |
