I would like you to make it but it's like they say in the first matrix: nobody makes it the first time
Thank you, I have survived so far, although I don't play every day, so it has been only a couple of turns

I understand the motives, as I wrote earlier in this thread, I have no problem with Rome having cheaper infantry, what seems slightly unfair is that Rome's hastati/principes/triarii are available to her from MIC 3, I have to wait for my Cataphracht Horse Archers until level 4 and for Cataphracts until level 5. Sure I have Armenian Medium Cavalry available from level 3 and Armenian Skirmish Cavalry from level 2, if I am not mistaken, and yes I can win battles quite safely with them, but it would be nice to be able to add a unit of cataphracts, just for the feeling. I mean I certainly wouldn't spam them since they cost some 4000 mnai to recruit.
