    Default Cataphracts in R: TW.

    After I read Dough Thompson's thread about Eastern Cataphracti in BI, it opened my eyes on the ones in R: TW. Just checked export_unit (In R: TW) and it appears that Cataphracts have this:

    Code:
    type             east heavy cataphract
    dictionary       east_heavy_cataphract      ; Cataphracts
    category         cavalry
    class            heavy
    voice_type       Heavy_1
    soldier          east_heavy_cataphract, 27, 0, 1
    mount            horse cataphract
    mount_effect     elephant -8, camel -4
    attributes       sea_faring, hide_forest
    formation        1.2, 4, 2.4, 6, 3, square, wedge
    stat_health      1, 0
    stat_pri         7, 9, no, 0, 0, melee, blade, piercing, spear, 25 ,1
    stat_pri_attr    no
    stat_sec         8, 6, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, blunt, mace, 25 ,1
    stat_sec_attr    ap
    stat_pri_armour  18, 5, 0, metal
    stat_sec_armour  0, 1, flesh
    stat_heat        3
    stat_ground      0, 1, -6, -1
    stat_mental      8, normal, highly_trained
    stat_charge_dist 30
    stat_fire_delay  0
    stat_food        60, 300
    stat_cost        2, 940, 190, 100, 150, 940
    ownership        parthia, armenia, seleucid
    I've been playing this game since it went out and I just opened my eyes on this, they have a secondary attack with AP. Which tells my mind, wouldn't it be better to use the secondary weapon than the primary one? Just Alt+charge would be better I think, with the AP bonus, they would be too effective, that the extra 2 attack in the primary wouldn't matter anyway. Thoughts?

    P.S. Same geos for Cataphract Camels

    "Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."

    Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton.
