Thread: Equites best cavunit in game

  1. #1

    Default Equites best cavunit in game

    Equites to many people may seem like a weak but cheap cav unit, but they can do much more than chasing skirmishers, if they are charged by catas they will be able to withstand the impact and even end up winning this is due to the Equites no armour which allows them to move fast, also their wooden spears are no match for the catas heavy armour.

    Is this a joke? Just to be sure? It's hard reading meanings over the web.

    It has been proven that due to the equites agile movement, they can turn a charge against them into them selves into their favour, Mutianu theory on RTW version 2.1 states that if a equite unit is attacked from rear it can outmaneuver its oppenant and have the advantage .

    I'd say Praetorian Cavalry are the best. Praetorians would rip apart Equites.

    How will dodging Praetorians kill them?

    EDIT: On second thought, I think Greek Cavalry is the best.

    It was difficult to spot since Equites really can beat Cataphracts.

    I see you have read Mutianu theory on RTW version 2.1 as well Prince, I am still downloading version 2.7, it demonstrates how effective greek cav. are against preatorian cav., I think it will be a interesting read.

    Why would I share those theories with anyone? I don't want anyone else beating me with those secrets.

    Me too. Where can I find it?
    "So there I am, in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. So, Jeff Beck pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweets shop on the edge of town. So - we go. And - it's closed. So there's me, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweets shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big Bengal tiger. I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shopowner and his son... that's a different story altogether. I had to beat them to death with their own shoes. Nasty business, really. But, sure enough, I got the M&Ms, and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show."
