The Horse Archers You Forgot About - Crusader Kings 3 Alans - Gigachad Story

We all know about the Mongols, the Turks, the Huns and other marauding Steppe peoples, but did you perhaps forget about the Scythians? It would be reasonable to do so, given they're not in CK3, but their descendants are, in the form of the Alans.

The Alans are an interesting culture to play in Crusader Kings 3, on account of their strange traditions. They're simultaneously specialized for mountain warfare, and use horse archers, who are awful in mountains.

I've played a little campaign here as Taus, the Mercenary Alan fighting for the Abbasids, but finding his own path for his people. It's interesting to realize, but often times, ethnogenesis can come from something as simple as settling a few mercenaries in a region and them forming a community, and in this campaign, I seek to simulate exactly that.

These are the Horse Archers you forgot about: the Alans.
