Nonetheless, the Scythians do seem to have been uniquely uncompromising in their approach to war and personal violence, and this seems to have added to their aura of dread. To be fair, Herodotus was a product of his time and background. The writings of Herodotus, the historian, explain nearly all of Scythian culture by reference to Greek equivalents, and the Scythian versions are usually found wanting. Historically, the Scythians were regarded as dangerous barbarians by the Greeks and other civilized peoples. Golden they might be, but the Royal Scythians can still see that there are rich pickings to be had among the “civilized” folk to the south and west of their steppes.
Starting around the time of the First Punic War, the game allows the player to take control of one of several factions vying for supremacy in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.As the title suggests, Rome is one of the big players here (initially as The Roman Republic and later The Roman Empire), and is in. The favour of the gods has stayed with his descendants ever since. Rome: Total War is the third game in the Total War franchise of strategy games. According to legend, all Royal Scythians are descended from Colaxais, the youngest of three brothers, and the one who was given divine golden gifts. All other tribes, even other Scythians, are no better than slaves and deserving of about the same level of consideration, which is to say absolutely no consideration at all. This is not their problem, but a simple truth.
The Royal Scythians are better than everyone else.
