Antirainbow tactics(special for cavalry and cataphract)

[Satan]

My one thing about this guide, is that it is common knowledge that using Cataphracts can destroy any Archers. It doesn't really take a rocket scientist to figure it out.

well all i know is if there are no (Battering Rams) in the equation if catahracts have max tech there is no combination of units if its 100k vrs 100k that can kill 100k cataphracts none zip zero not even catapults and ballistas nothing put together any units that equal 100k and send them against 100k cataphracts with max tech you lost not even 50k archer 50k cataphracts nothing 100k cataphracts win. especially if defending with wall defense support cant loose. Do the math I already did.

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?

Dr, I don't send out phract armies (too costly) but I regulary send out cav armies. 100k cav hit 500 abatis and I lose 200 cav or less. That's .2% loss. If you sent phracts the loss is even less.

If I send waves, the first wave of about 10k removes most of the abatis, and 40 waves of 2k afterwards take less than 50 losses (abatis don't all get destroyed in one attack).
