Cataphracts/cataphract camels' alt-attack is devastating. Those maces really hack through everthing in close combat melee. As soon as your cataphract/cataphract camels engage melee with the enemy, just use Alt+right click on the same target, and out come the maces.

Try this in custom battles, perhaps a unit of cataphracts against say cappadocian cavalry, and you will see what i mean if you've not tried it before

I've always found that standard Greek archers always get cut to pieces due to their inferior range and damage ratings. How do you get the best out of them?

Cretan Archers/Forester Warband/Pharoah's Bowmen/Chosen Archers/Archer Auxilia etc always seem to murder standard greek archers - when they camp on hills then you've got a big problem
