Rhomps have very high lethality and bonus vs cav though. They are getting AP back though afaik. Its a bit surprising that rhomp is getting back AP tbh.

Bring elephants back to rome roster please dont tell me that they didnt use them :P

**TheShakAttack** · 10-25-2011, 02:08

That reminds me. Rome should get Tarantine cav as mercenaries.

I discussed on hamachi with some people about cata fear, also i wanna share my opinion to remove fear from helenic catas, i mean REAL catas should get fear effect :D, pahlava's and hayasdan's catas, or maybe just Grivnapar, personaly for me scariest unit in game next to elephantes, so what you think about this..? :)

I'd be happy with removing fear from AS catas. Not entirely sure about Baktria, since they did field some heeeavy cav.

Wait, so better armed and armored cataphracts somehow aren't "scary" but their worse-equipped, otherwise identical Parthian Noble counterparts are?

Im posting again bcz i forgot to mention bactrian and saka catas as well :D they should keep fear wanna see your opinion about helenistics :D

**Arjos** · 10-26-2011, 22:53

I ask what's scary about any cataphract?
People were afraid of their "heavier" charge, but what's scary of an oven-man?

Can't they get "inspire" instead and another stat tweak?

Worse equipped? I was under the impression that Greek cataphracts were equipped in roughly the same manner as their Iranian counterparts.

Although there are theories that they in fact lacked leg armor, apart from greaves.

I think that all the fear units, historically, were actually more awe inspiring than scaring...
Exception for elephants, even though after few encounters everyone got accustomed...
