Um, that clue means nothing to me. Lacking Google, I'm hoping a teammate can enlighten me.

I think they are a classical age power from somewhere around the Mediterranean, as might appear in games about civilizations around the Mediterranean.  But probably one of the more minor ones given that I don't know distinguishing traits or where they were.Based on this, I feel best about: BOW HORSESHOE and then maybe one of: HORN GOLD IVORY CENTER BAND Anyone else?
Okay, looking at:
And going with: (January 3rd, 2016, 11:28)Bacchus Wrote: Red clue: Scythian 3Horseshoe and bow are both pretty solid; the Scythians were badass steppe horse archers that made the Roman pee their pants. So like Seven, feel good for those two. I'm trying to recall from my archery history if they used rings to pull back the bowstrings. "Scythian band" also has some loosely associated schema floating around in my mind but that's fuzzy. They were in pretty much the center of Eurasia. But barring someone more sure I'd be Horseshoe/bow/pass.

I believe Scythian composite bows were made of horn, but I'm not 100%, nor would I be sure that's what Bacchus pointed to even if so.

Cool, glad Commodore is informed. For the third one it seems we should look for a word that distinguishes them from Mongols. Maybe center does that?

You can always guess one or two words and see what they flip as before moving on, don't feel like you have to lock in everything at once. Since technically when you guess words are resolved one at a time anyways.
