Building requirements for Kats?

Hi guys...

I'm in the process of moving house, and so all my MTW documentation is packed away in boxes.

Just started an Early Byz campaign, and I'm keen to know how far away I am from pumping out the Kats in Constantinople.

Cheers...

Horse Breeder Guild and Armourers Guild are what you need.

Kats are overrated IMO. Thier charge isn't much better that Pronoai and thier a hellava lot slower, they can't melee for squat and anti-armour will massacre them.

Well in multi you might want to consider the uses of them, but in single player not much that the AI will throw infront of you can stand against them. Just fire at the weak points and forget.

eh I'd rather spend the money on Pronoai and for practically the same attck stat and more speed

Kats' charge is the best in the game, same as anything else with a lance...

Kats and Pornos are used for different things anyway...

Since the Byz only get basic spears you can use Kats as a anti-cav, cav. They can soak up a charge better then a-lot on units, and there high defence will let them win against most early cav.
