    Pointless thread really, but yeah...

    Compare your favorite RTW units something else... I don't know how else to put it.

    Complete the list below:

    Praetorian Cavalry- M60 Medium Tank
    Praetorian Infantry- Riotshield-wielding SWAT
    Urban Legionaries- Riotshield-wielding national guard
    Arcani Ninjaz
    Legionary cohorts- __________
    Legionary first cohorts __________
    _____________________ ___________


    And so on...

    Cataprachts: King Tiger Tank
    Scythian Male Units: Mongolians
    German Beserkers: Viking Beserkers
    Companions: Knights

    Knights were already there - see parthian cataphracts. Although the catas of this period were not yet completely covered in armour.
