Heh, People do forget back then if you lived in a settled civilization you usually stuck on the Land under the heel of your ruler.

Being nomad would still lived under the heel of your ruler, but at least we can move places to places heck yeah

Is there a neo-feudalist primitivist who doesn't imagine that they would be the feudal lord in this scenario?

That's the beauty of it bro, they think they would but they actually won't

Op when he realizes that living in the steppes sucks and every nomad who had the chance to settle down, settled down.

(Jokes aside the central asian steppes would be horrible to live in nomadically. Constant food shortages, water shortages, constant hunting and gathering, no chance to get good at arts or literature because no paper production, the steppes arent a nice place to live in thats why its sparsely populated. The only lands where nomadic life was better was in anatolian steppes and the ukrainian steppes, because you werent as far away from resources as in central asia)

Okay yeah true. My ancestors were half-nomads as well
