My apologies if I mix\mess up stuff with M2TW - there you have a max of 31 factions in the descr_sm_factions file. You got 22.

Edit: just checked - appears you got the max for RTW. Arggghhh, this is frustrating.

About slave.
Slave in nomadic army it is unlikely.
Slavery begins to rise in urbanization (primary for hard work and sexual entertainment). An army of slaves was formering when large military campaigns (for example Huns).
Ancient steppe nomads don`t used slaves (used but sporadic and unknown case).
Slave was (not for arrmy, not for work) - but like for sale and Exchange (sale to neighboring folks and tribes). Or for execution (political, personal animosity etc)


About saka army bonus in mod.
The main things for saka it is arch and horse.
Maybe need to make big radius shooting of archers? or (and) shooting accuracy? or (and) horse rejection (maneuver) from the enemy?
And horse speed (nomadic women horse archer)?
What do you think about bonus?
Is it posible?

Yes those bonuses are possible: we can increase the range, accuracy of their arrows. Horse speeds can also be increased. But I'm not usre what you mean with horse rejection. Do you mean improved skirmish mode? If so that's possible too! :)

Well yeah that's possible, there is even a way to make them avoid corners of the map automatically :) Also what range would you give them? Currently the range of horse archers is 15-160-170m Steppe foot archers have a range of 250-260m. Furthermore, will all horse horse archers get a speed bonus, or only the female horse archers? Btw: will these bonuses also apply to foot archers or units shared with Sarmatia? if so we'll have to make two separate units if we don't want to give Samaritan units the same bonus.

I think it`s not my choise. Same bonus easy but not good. We need balance and i just suggest. I`am not specialist of code and balance :) For example: It can be like this: Saka radius shooting and accuracy, sarmatian also can have bonus: damage by arrows and cavalery (?) Horse archer speed for saka women, and for sarmatian women... i dont know maybe speed of
Maneuver (?)

I will increase the accuracy of steppe (horse) archers, for the saka women someone would have to make a horse skeleton with increased speed and steppe (horse) archers already have the highest range.

If it`s problem let`s not to do! For saka female can be accuracy -not radius. Rdius and accuracy for mans.
