Scenarios about 'nomadic empires'

Nomadic empires were powerful states created by horse-riding pastoral groups that dominated large parts of Eurasia throughout history, including the Xiongnu, Mongols, and various Turkic confederations. These highly mobile political entities developed distinctive military tactics based on cavalry warfare, controlled vast trade networks across the Eurasian steppe, and often significantly influenced the development of sedentary civilizations through conquest, cultural exchange, and political pressure.
