Cataphract without bows?

That's a special ability and projectile type, not weapon.

Trus me, it's an extra weapon, check the EDU entry.

Yes it appears as such, but in terms of unit models and skeletons a unit can only have 2 weapons - primary and secondary. Siege Engines can have a third attack, but its not a third weapon.

**Carl** · 03-09-2007, 20:08

Are you SURE it's seige engines only, I'm pretty sure the notations at the top of the EDU file list it as a third weapons entry.

You can't have unit models with a third skeleton as far as im aware, so you can't have a third weapon.

Dosen't mean a thing to me but i'll take your word on it as you clearly know what your talking about even if i don't

Would it really matter if it were a special ability or a weapon as long as it created the correct effect?

We can't edit/make new special abilities, and we can't give the models 3 weapons/skeletons, so modders can't make it possible. Unless once we can edit meshes we make a duplicate kataphraktoi unit armed with bow and mace.
