Ok, so i don't need to conquer Trapezous to get the Pan-Caucasian-Empire Reform started, as i already can recruit (not afford...) Armenian Noble Infantry and Noble Cataphracts...so i can get better troops when i finish the Orontid Reforms? Like Armoured HA in Persepolis? That would be quite cool...
