    I think, the late Pontos BG are just replica for the original Hetairoi, and for that reason, they are logically less effective, and hence "downgraded" rather than updated...

    The funny is that they are quiet capable against the Companions.

    The pontic bgs have higher charge and lance lethality(+.02).

    Epeirote BGs are still the best melee cavalry in the game due to their stupid high defense and stamina.
    Fighting isn't about winning, it's about depriving your enemy of all options except to lose.
