So maybe a tool tip that explains that or an name that is easier to understand without knowing the historic context. e.g. "bloodthirst" or something similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scythian where one the most significant civilizations of their times and made outstanding warriors, specially their cavalry.......By the way, how cool is to find another Kings and generals channel fan as me. it is nice to know I'm not the only one that love and follow that channel.
