Welcome to yet another DD!
As we are closing in on the release day, 17th of September, all hands are on deck making sure to polish the release as much as possible.

Sarmatian Government System:
The steppe is the land of the horse, the man of the steppe a horseman born, its history that of nomadic peoples jostling one another for the best grazing grounds. As long as the nomad kept the soul of a nomad, he regarded sedentary man merely as his farmer, the town and tilled land as his farm, both being a fine target for extortion. When failing to appreciate a healthy mistrust for sedentary life, however, the brave warriors of the steppes might easily degenerate... In the third century BC, the Sarmatian people, believed to be of the same lineage as the Scythians but clearly culturally distinct from them, crossed the Volga and started to subjugate the tribes of the Russian Steppes up to Crimea and eventually even beyond. The Sarmatian government system will seek to stimulate the dynamic of bundling together the forces of fierce nomadic tribes under your leadership, in order to gather enough strength to eventually subdue the powerful sedentary empires on the fringes of your proper steppe homelands.
Carthage also got new traits!
We also got some new banners!
That's all for this week we hope you enjoyed it.
