Ugh, yes, that happened to me too, only I didn't win like you did. I lost very badly.... even lost my ten-star Ardumanish the Horseman. Taught me a lesson I would not soon forget.


I find that the best counter to cataphracts is camels, especially camel cataphracts. Those humpy beasts kill cavalry, and especially cataphracts like nobody's business.
