Strategy

The Iazyges are almost guaranteed to send you alliance at the start of the game, and you want to accept their offer. You are going to want to eventually make your way towards Constantinople when Rome begins to collapse. What is unique about the File:Sarmatians.png Sarmatians is that you are a Steppe Horde; not a Barbarian Tribe. If you can manage to raze Constantinople and Rome, you will be so far ahead of the barbarians for the rest of the game!
