Cataphract question

[Mithradates VI]

The Saka have Cats too. It even seems they were the very first people to use a distinguishable Cat too.

Mind you: the triggers are quite complex, so one very nice battle won't guarantee them 100%. Unit Size is NOT accounted for, so on anything like Small you simply won't get such reforms through the conditions, I am afraid.

On the other hand, if you have wipe all those treacherous wannabe independent kingdoms off the map ... wouldn't it be a tad silly to specifically arrange a battle so you can trigger Cat reforms?

Well, it would be nice to have some Uberheavy Cavalry to pwn the Green Monster which has developed in Greece and Macedonia...

Also, I just plain want to see what you guys have done with them.


I'm playing Large units, actually, so I'm covered there, at least.

probably after the vannila marians, ie huge city in Italy. That will get you the late bodygaurds anyway, I am almost certain.

Its the vanilla Marian reform, so a city in Italy that's not Rome getting to huge.

I'm in early 179BC ,And I sent a spy in italy to investigate if there's any Larg city there. As I expected ,many of italian settlements are already huge cities and "Polybian Reform" has been triggered for AI. But no Marian reform yet What do you think guys?

P.S : I can't build level 5 MIC !? Is this also relate to Marian reform???
