The Massagetae are neighbors of the Dahae. They live near the Aral Sea. The Persians mention several peoples among the Saka/Scythians: Sakâ Haumavargâ – Scythians who prepare the sacred drink haoma Sakâ Trigraxaudâ – Scythians with pointed caps Sakâ tyaiy paradraya – Scythians from beyond the sea Sakâ tyaiy para Sugdam – Scythians from beyond Sogdiana It is very likely that the Sakâ Haumavargâ are the Amyrgians, a people difficult to locate but who must have lived close to the Massagetae. The Sakâ Trigraxaudâ are generally identified as the Massagetae. The Sakâ tyaiy paradraya are the Scythian peoples of the Pontic steppe, north of the Black Sea. They are divided into several groups, but the most powerful call themselves the Royal Scythians. Finally, the Sakâ tyaiy para Sugdam are probably distant Scythian peoples located north of Sogdiana, perhaps the Saraucae, who would invade the kingdoms of Bactria and Sogdiana in the 2nd century BCE. For me, there are several Scythian-related events that are particularly interesting. First, the campaigns of Cyrus the Great against the Massagetae and the Amyrgians. Then the campaigns of Darius against the Pontic Scythians—a long expedition around the Black Sea. There are also the campaigns of Philip II and Alexander the Great against the Scythians near the Danube, difficult wars that even caused a few defeats for the Macedonians. There are the wars between the Scythians and the Greek Bosporan Kingdom in Crimea. Finally, the destruction of the Greek kingdom of Bactria, the successive deaths of Phraates II and Artabanus I, and the eventual creation of the Indo-Scythian kingdom in northern India. It is a very rich history spread across a vast territory with many peoples. Most remain nomadic, but some Scythian groups do become sedentary. I think the Royal Scythians, the Massagetae and the Sakaraukai/Saraucae are all three interesting nomadic Scythians from different areas. This is a good idea but maybe it should be directly integrated into the Parthians civ. Starting as a nomadic tribe and becoming a Persian empire is original. 

No, I haven't learned how to create animations yet. So for now I'm using the ones the game offers.

Buenos días ,tarde o noches; -Muchas gracias por la aclaración, no se preocupe, miraré este foro en busca de información y referencias para las distintas tribus de la cultura, influencia o fenómeno Escita. Encontré algunos foros concretos sobre los sármatas pero este es el mejor foro.   -Para el mod Endovélico ,TODAS LAS CULTURAS abarcan del 500 a.c-1 d.c, en el que estoy trabajando con @Lopess ya tenemos varias facciones escitas: Escitas Sármatas Yuezhi Dahae Escitas -Me inspiré sobre todo en las tribus de Asia central ,como los Massagetae(Uzbekistán),así que solo requiere un ligero cambio de nombres y los empezaré a denominar como "Masagetas". ¿Mejor así @Genava55?   Sármatas     Yuezhi   Dahae (Los Dahae serían una facción nómada plena ,pero con la descarga de una tecnología cultural única ,se podrían convertir en la facción sedentaria de los Arsácidas/parthians,mudando la apariencia de los edificios , unisdades etc... )   Arsácidas/parthians     Disculpen las molestias*

@ffm2 we are past the string freeze, so changes to the description can't be made for R28. They can certainly be improved down the road tho.

Just as a suggestion, maybe call "Human sacrifice" of the seeres miasma or disease spreading or so https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miasma_theory This would differentiate it from the tech "sacrificial ritual" and maybe make it clear that its something hostile (towards enemies). But just to state my opinion / thoughts.
