I didn't read the 2nd page but I wanna talk about reformed cavalry. I really like the Thracians. They can beat anything if used right. They are perfect to take out kataphractoi because you simply have them run pepper them with skirmish on, so they pull the unit out of the battle and so long as you have 2 to 1 odds at a time, they simply tire themselves out and you can just slaughter them.

And against others, they either fight or perform the above(so long as they are faster)
