Historical background
The Massagetae (spelt "Masagetae" in the game) were an Iranian steppe people east of the Caspian Sea. According to Herodotus they fought on horseback and on foot with bow, spear and battle axe and used bronze and gold instead of iron and silver. Their queen Tomyris is said to have defeated and killed the Persian king Cyrus II in 530 BC.
