Cataphract without bows?

Byzantine Cataphracts should have bow lance and mêlée. I feel cheated; does anyone know a way to fix this?

Yes, this bothers me too, I really would rather have high upkeep Cataphracts that have a bow, spear, and mace, rather than just, you guessed it, a mace! ;(

CA was so nervous that the poor chap who did the animations forgot the bow.

Are Kataphraktoi supposed to have bows?

Kataphraktoi were trained with both lance, mace and bow. In M2Tw thet use just lance and mace. However their lack of a bow is made up for by the Byzantines rather good HA units like Vardiotai(very good in melee as well) and Byzantine Cav.

Oh, and units can onyl have 1 primary and 1 secondary weapon in game, so you can't add a third weapon in.
