Is there any way for the steppe to develop into an area primarily settled by sedentary or at least semi-sedentary peoples like its neighbors during antiquity? Where would be the major centers of power/population in this non-nomadic steppe, and what would be the fate of persia, rome and china with a lack of nomadic invaders?

Personally, I think it would be awesome to see Xiongnu/Scythian/Jurchen/Turkic states popping up and changing the entire political, economic and cultural face of Eurasia.
