they -are- considerably armoured afterall... and their role's very limited...anti-catanks and chasing fleeing dogs...

Any cav can be used to charge in behind the heavies to help break by outnumbering.

Yeah but they are quite deadly in melee with their ap axes, and while the heavies try to get away from these guys they can keep up in speed and chew them down.

That's why they get the medium cavalry category. And it's enough, if you can stop the enemy's heavy cavalry to get your line from rear then it's all right, isn't it?

Is the Median medium cavalry the same?

For the most part, though they're of Regular rather than Veteran base quality and don't have the leg armour. Ditto Asiatikoi Hippeis. The Hai Aspet Hetsomethings are also Veteran quality, but don't have the leg defenses either.

I know this has been said before, but hoplitai haploi is simply incredible. They can hold a line fairly long and are probably the best levy unit in game. I just wish that AS can recruit them.
