[[File:EAST_CATAPHRACT_ARCHER.jpg‎ ]]Cataphract archers are very heavily armoured, but slow, horse-archers that are almost impervious to attacks and can fight in close combat.

== Overview ==

Cataphract archers are very heavily armoured, but slow, horse-archers that are almost impervious to attacks and can fight in close combat. They are not as armoured as cataphract lancers, yet most enemy missiles are turned aside quite easily. Mobility and speed have been sacrificed to provide protection. Their composite bows allow them to attack enemies at long range, but they also carry swords so that - if needs be - they can close up and fight hand-to-hand. The weight of cataphract archers means that they are 'heavier' than most shock cavalry but this is not their primary purpose. Being able to fight in close combat should be seen as a bonus to their primary abilities.

== Details ==

Cataphract Archers are very tough horse archers. They have the same missile attack as the rest but they have the very heavy Cataphract armour to resist counter fire, though they are not as immune to it as you might think. They also have a very high melee attack for horse archers so they can more than handle themselves in melee; however their lack of shields makes them somewhat vulnerable. Still this is a great unit that can do many things. They will tire quickly in their heavy armour, particularly as horse archers are almost always moving and Armenia starts with desert provinces. You should never use the Cantabrian Circle with this unit as it will just tire them even faster. They have high morale and are highly trained.

[[File:EAT_PERSIAN_CAVALRY.png]]‎Persian cavalry can fight well with either bow or sword, making them valuable skirmishers and general purpose horsemen.

== Overview ==

Persian cavalry can fight well with either bow or sword, making them valuable skirmishers and general purpose horsemen. They can trace their lineage back to the tribes of the steppes, and this tradition gives them fine skills with both the horse and the compound bow. They wear mail armour and carry swords so that they can defend themselves at need, or even carry the attack to lighter opponents, but they are primarily fine horse archers, able to ruin formations of solidly-packed enemies. A skilled commander will use these troops in cooperation with heavier cataphracts when he can, softening up an opponent with missiles before delivering an armoured punch, or beating an enemy down before driving them from the field with lighter pursuers.

== Details ==

Persian Cavalry are HA than can fight in melee. They are well armoured for HA. Don’t hesitate to use them as light cavalry and as HAs, as they do well in both roles. This makes them very useful units.

== Overview ==

Pontic heavy cavalry are javelin-armed horsemen who can also fight hand-to-hand - a potent combination in one force! They wear light chainmail armour and carry shields and swords so that they can close with opponents and fight when the situation requires. Their primary means of attack, however, remains the javelins that they carry. They can pepper an enemy with missiles and then have the option of closing to deliver the coup de grace, or they can withdraw and await another opportunity for mischief! They are not ideally suited to fighting other skirmishers - many of their javelins will be wasted against targets who can dodge, after all - but they can be very useful in driving broken enemies from the field.

== Details ==

Pontic Heavy cavalry very versatile cavalry they have a strong missile attack and their good amour let them resist a good deal of incoming javelin fire. they should be able to easily defeat any other javelin cavalry in the game. They also double as excellent medium cavalry with high morale.

[[File:EAST_CAPPODOCIAN_CAVALRY.png‎]]Cappadocian lancers are excellent horsemen, best suited to charging into and breaking through enemy formations.

== Overview ==

Cappadocian lancers are excellent horsemen, best suited to charging into and breaking through enemy formations. They are not as headstrong as other elite heavy cavalry and will not charge without orders - war is a serious business that has little room for vainglorious folly. They wear heavy chainmail and carry swords for use in close combat once the initial charge is over and momentum has been lost. While not in quite the same class as the super-heavy cataphracts from nearby Armenia, these men are a powerful force. They should not, however, be expected to charge into prepared spearmen. Cappadocia is a region that is famed for its cavalry, and these men are rightly feared throughout Asia Minor.

== Details ==

Cappadocian Calvary are superior anti cav troops. They a very heavily armored and spear weaponry allow them to slaughter the cavalry in melee as they can outlast just about any enemy unit and their spears kill the horses fast. They also work very well for charging down infantry but they are better at surviving in melee than killing in it, so charging over and over tends to work best.

[[File:EAST_CAVALRY.png‎ ]]Pontic light cavalry are javelin-armed mounted skirmishers who can strike quickly and be gone before the enemy reacts.

== Overview ==

Pontic light cavalry are javelin-armed mounted skirmishers who can strike quickly and be gone in the time it takes a more ponderous enemy to react. They do not wear armour, but do carry shields and swords so that they can fight in hand-to-hand combat should the need arise. They are, however, best used to dash in and harass a mass of enemies such as heavy infantry who cannot hope to catch them. They are not ideally suited to fighting other skirmishers - many of their javelins will be wasted against targets who can dodge, after all - but they can be very useful in harrying fleeing enemies and driving them from the field.

== Details ==

Pontic Light Cavalry are pretty decent javelin cavalry. They are slightly superior to Militia Cavalry and do quite well in melee. they work well for supporting heavier Pontic cavalry as they can fight in melee well enough after their missile are thrown. Their morale is stable.

Nothing. It's just that the filter only blocks IP addresses known to belong to spammers; and it permits registration, too, even if your IP address matches the lists, in case it's a false positive. If the bots start registering to spam, I'll have to disable that. —[[User:Simetrical|Simetrical]] ([[User talk:Simetrical|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Simetrical|contribs]]) 09:45, 24 February 2008 (CST)

I got your message on MSN. I've fixed it so image deletion works now, and deleted the images in question. It's still possible for sysops to view them if they want, by the way: MediaWiki deliberately only has "soft" deletion. But you have to go out of your way to do it, and you have to be a sysop. —[[User:Simetrical|Simetrical]] ([[User talk:Simetrical|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Simetrical|contribs]]) 08:49, 13 March 2008 (CDT)

[[File:EGYPTIAN_ARCHER.png‎]]Bowmen are rightly feared for the casualties they can inflict, but they are vulnerable in hand-to-hand combat.

== Overview ==

Bowmen are rightly feared for the casualties they can inflict, but they are vulnerable in hand-to-hand combat. They are drawn from the peasant classes of all societies, as these are the people who need to be skilled hunters in order to survive. Learning to use a bow well is something that takes a lifetime and constant practice, and putting food on the table provides good practice. They are best used to weaken enemy formations, or placed in a spot where they can retreat and find protection from other troops.

== Details ==

Bowmen are exactly the same as the standard archers used by other factions. they are basic archers and do a decent job against more lightly armored enemies. unlike other standard archers these ones are trained rather than untrained, so they will react slightly faster.

[[File:EGYPTIAN_ARCHER_ELITE.png‎]]Pharaoh's bowmen are skilled archers, the finest to be found in Egyptian armies.

== Overview ==

Pharaoh's bowmen are skilled archers, the finest to be found in Egyptian armies. They carry the finest bows available, and have the abilities - honed from an early age - to make the best use of their weaponry, making them a true elite. And with their native toughness and hardy spirit they are truly impressive warriors, and a fine force for any of the Pharaoh’s generals to have under his command. Unlike many other archers, these men wear good armour, giving them protection against counter-fire, but they are vulnerable - like any archers - if unsupported when attacked by cavalry.

== Details ==

Pharaoh's Bowmen are the last word in archers. With extreme skill in a archery and very strong melee stats for an archer these guys will out shoot any other missile unit in the game. their heavy armor lets them shrug off arrows much better than any other archer unit and they have extremely high morale and are disciplined and highly trained making them a true elite. with these guys and Pharaoh's Guard Egypt can be a tough nut to crack.

[[File:EAST_HEAVY_CATAPHRACT.png‎]]Cataphracts are extremely heavily-armoured shock cavalry who can turn a battle with one thunderous charge.

== Overview ==

Cataphracts are extremely heavily-armoured cavalry who can turn a battle with one thunderous charge. They are the ultimate in shock cavalry, an armoured battering ram to crash into an enemy position and sweep aside all who stand against them. They are armed with heavy lances for the initial charge and maces for use in close combat. They wear armour that is almost unmatched for weight and protection, and their horses are similarly armoured. On the move they are a wall of metal bearing down on enemies, tipped with razor-sharp spear points. Their armour is their main strength, but it also means that these troops can be quite ponderous and slow moving. That said, sheer weight means that they can often break through (or ride over) an enemy line without too much trouble.

== Details ==

Cataphracts are basically tanks on legs. They have masses of armour: both horse and rider are covered in it. They have a good attack, massive defence a punishing charge, high morale and are disciplined and highly trained. They are armed with spears which are effective against enemy cavalry but they also have secondary AP maces which you can get them to use by alt+right clicking the target. This is the better bet against heavily armoured cavalry and infantry as they will slaughter then easily with AP weapons. You can also charge, as they have a devastating charge and then pull back and charge again. They will absolutely destroy non armour piercing units taking almost no damage. Of course they almost completely resist missiles with all that armour, besides pila and other armour piercing missiles. This unit can almost do anything except fight anything that pierces armour. Keep them far, far away from anything with an armour piercing attack, like infantry or cavalry axemen.
