Did you also do the math on how much it costs to make 100k cataphracts, and how much food they need xD.
This is a great tactic, no debate about that, just the cost of it, and it applies in very tight conditions, It is extremely difficult to take down 500 abatis from an enemy, and it is also very costly to remove the enemy rainbow.
I actually want to know what other people do for the above, cuz you have to remove traps/abatis, and all enemy rainbow for this technique to work.

@Satan, this is an old thread, NOW we all knwo this works, back then, not so much. BTW Ur still playing just not on s34, what happened? defeated?
