Apparently however the larger lethality of the longsword is more deadly than the AP Kopis.
I forgot where I saw it, but there was a forum thread that compared the highest armored bodyguard units with one another. Although the Pahlava bodyguards lose consistently to Saka Rauka and Armenian bodyguards (both of which have AP and .165) they dominate the Baktrians, who have more points in armor but have a measly .11 lethality (with AP). The Baktrians in turn have an advantage against the Saka and Armenians O_o
Not that it matters however, seeing as their primary weapon, the lance (and the only weapon the computer uses) is the best against armored horsemen.
Even though the lance animation is slower than the secondaries, are you saying that the lance is the best option for cav against cav no matter if you are saka bak or pahlav?
