Saka Rauka Unit Roster

Halstehveyyau (Saka Spearmen) These Saka spearmen wear no armour but carry a shield and spear to battle. They are passable infantry and can hold their own against other low-quality infantry of a similar nature. However, due to their lack of armour, they should not be employed against the heavier infantry of settled peoples.

Melee Dmg/AP

Sakaya Halstehveyyau (Saka Warriors) Equipped with a combination of weaponry, Saka warriors carry spears, shields, and bows. These warriors are known for their adaptability and effectiveness on the battlefield.

Ysaninu (Saka Assault Infantry) As Scythian tribes become more settled, infantry is becoming more prominent. While not able to keep up with most heavy infantry, these soldiers are still great shock troops.

Melee Dmg/AP

Sakaya Parathubara (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.

Melee Dmg/AP

Ysaninu Hadabara (Tribal Guard) Elite Saka warriors, tasked with guarding their warlords. They are equally deadly with spear as they are with a bow. Their equipment might not be of such quality as that of nobility but they like to display their status of chosen elite.

Payai Dunai (Tribal Levy) If needed, these archers march out to defend their tribe. They are unable to stand their ground when it comes to melee but their experience still makes them deadly archers.
Class: 3 Size: 200

Melee Dmg/AP

Sakaya Guhadurnabara (Saka Archers) They carry a fairly large recurved composite bow which, with its relatively longer siyahs and body, shows a deviation from the traditional Scythian recurved composite bow and a transition to the later “Sassanian” and Hun types of more eastern steppe nomads. This enablesthem to outrange, outshoot, and out-power steppe nomad horse archers.
Class: 2 Size: 175

Melee Dmg/AP

Sakaya Artsibarat (Saka Riders) These Saka riders are armed with a spear as their primary weapon and a sagaris as a secondary weapon. In addition, they carry leather armour and wickerwork shields, being slightly better armed than the majority of the tribesmen.

Melee Dmg/AP

Assa-Barai (Saka Horse Archers) Living a tough life, Saka nomads learn to ride as soon as they can walk and they are masterful horsemen. Their primary weapon is the composite bow and the steppe pony they ride is a hardy beast, though small and shaggy.

Ysaninu Aysiramjä (Saka Cataphracts) These fearsome warriors wear an armoured jacket fitted at the waist and made of large metal plates. Their horses are protected by an armoured cloth.

Class: 1 Size: 120

Melee Dmg/AP

Ysaninu Aysna (Saka Nobles) Protected with helmets and good quality scale armour, riding horses with frontal barding, and wielding stout spears, these Saka nobles can give a good account of themselves in hand to hand combat. Also, they are no less adept with the strong, composite bows they carry than poorer, more lightly-equipped horse archers and only slightly less agile. This combination makes them suitable for a variety of tasks.

Yukhuna Ysaninu Purma (Yuezhi Heavy Cavalry) The skilled horse archers of the Yuezhi tribes are fearsome enemies. Their steppe horses are not meant for devastating charges, but they are fast and agile on the field, while their heavy armour and deadly skills with bows put fear into their foes.
