    Default How to use Cavs/'Phracts?

    Hey I'm super bored of straight-up outnumbering the other guy in archers, was curious as to how to properly use Cavalry or Cataphracts, or both. I have heard many things about Cataphracts being the elite unit and was wondering if anyone could post information/ a guide about how to properly use them?

    You uh...just make a lot of them and press attack. Do you have any specific questions?

    You would have to clear out the abatis/traps/rockfalls/roll-logs before sending in an attack. Also you would have to clear the defending persons fodder (Workers/Warriors/Sword/Pike). After those 2 are cleared the best and most effective way to layer cava/cataph Is : 75kcatap/24996cava/1arch/1scout/1bal/1pult. I wouldn't recommend sending in the bal/pult unless he is with in 5miles.

    IF YOU WANT TO GO BIG, GO WITH SCOUT BOMB. They can take out enemy's archers without removing fodder. Scout bomb is currently the most convenient way to bring down a town if the victim is not smart enough to deal with it.

    The problem is, you're wiping out 100k scouts for probably around 30k~ archers per hit. If you can set up a scenario where you can hit the archers directly with a solid team of cataphracts/cavalry, you can do significantly much more damage. I've seen upwards of 250k (possibly 300k? can't remember) archers wiped out with a single 100k cataphract wave. Unfortunately I can't remember the cataphract losses, but they were the winning side.

    A major issue is, of course, getting the defences whittled down so you can strike the archers with the cataphracts (unless you already know some of the more effective manners of doing so), but IMO it makes for a more impressive battle report when done.

    It's all Rodri's fault.

    Having massive prestige generally means you are a great farmer with lots of troops but doesn't mean they know how to use them.
