The Cataphract trait

[Basileus Seleukeia]

The first statement is just my point in my previous post. You arrive at a completely different conclusion though.

Well, you seem to have edited your post right as I was writing mine, so it's no surprise. But your point of just ignoring the reforms is quite good, when I have that nasty babylonian trait removed I shall start a new campaign and try it this way.

Edit: Though I think that Puupertti Roma has some good ideas.
