Alani (Empire Divided)

  • Nomadic Archers: +25% ammunition for all units
  • Warlike People: +3 army recruitment slots in home province

Description

Warfare was always the Alani way; they ravaged the lands around the Black Sea on all sides, reaching as far as Armenia. Alani dominance on the Pontic Steppe was unchallenged, until the Germanic Goths expanded into their lands. Although the nomadic peoples retreated towards the Don, they nevertheless had a great impact on Gothic culture. Many fled, running to Rome or east towards the new Sassanid Empire, looking to escape the carnage and live peacefully once again. However, those who remained behind with the tribe retained their spirit of nomadic pride and stood ready to restore their tribe to its former glories.
