Reworked Horde Invasions
In the next Invictus update, the Yuezhi, Sakan and Wusun invasions have been completely reworked. I just shared this post in the Discord but wanted to put it here as well, since there has been some discussion about this recently.
Alright, so first things first; all mission trees in the invasion corridor have been looked at and permanent province modifiers have been added where it makes sense, so if you lose an Alexandria to the steppe nomads, you won't lose the modifiers you spent hours working to unlock.
All three invasions will now spawn along the yellow line in the first image - no more randomly appearing armies in your heartland, no more bordergore enclaves spawning out of the blue. Also, your capital is safe from being seized if it happens to be in the yellow line zone...no more cheap and dirty events stealing your main city.
Second image shows how you will be able to form Yuezhi if you are one of the countries in the Tarim Basin that receives refugee pops once the off-map Xiongnu crush the Yuezhi. This peacefully settles the invasion and allows you to go on to form Kushan, if you'd like.
Third image shows something that is available for all three of these invasions; the country being attacked by the horde will now have the option to tag switch. Because the invasions are mid-to-late game, they have been slightly buffed and should still be an annoying thing to deal with, but not as bad as they were before!
Something I didn't mention on Discord is that the invasions are a little more staggered, so you won't have the Saka invading ten days (!) after the Yuezhi launch their own invasions. Large-scale movements of displaced peoples take some time, after all, so the week or two you would have seen before has been replaced with a more appropriate year or two.
