    Default Cataphract

    Hey guys, just have a few questions here on the above.
    I am well aware of that if you want to use cataphract to whack people, you need to clear off their wall defences 1st. And that being said, i assumed its by using scout bombing. However, what IF the enemy gates are open? How do i clear the wall defences? especially, traps and abatis?

    Lets say if i have already clear the defences, how do i determine the amount of rainbow ( scouts, calvary) to use?


    Thanks in advance.

    You clear wall fortifications using 200 cav/200 scout spam, or however many scouts you want to use.

    And you layer them with 1 archer, scout, cavalry (or more cav if you want), but you have to remove the larger layers of cav/pikes/swords/warriors first to make it work.

    why would you layer with 1 archer? archers are slower than them

    ranged always attack ranged first, and if you've compacted their defense from 5k to charge range for cavalry,movement speed for anything other than cavalry/cataphracts doesn't matter anymore except in how long the attack takes to arrive.

    Scouts, archers, ballistas and catapults are all ranged units that can be used to layer against opposing ranged units for any melee type unit when starting distance is at a ranged units base range + 200 and not out at 5k.
