    Beserkers obviously.

    Then Urbans. Urbans will fight forever if they have the right upgrades. They can do damage from range, they move pretty fast, and they are flexible. It's very hard to beat urbans with cav armies in this game. On high money Urbans rule all. That's a given.

    Companion Cav can be very annoying against your cavalry. At times, upgraded catas will struggle against them, especially if the companions utilizes the charge and surprise you. On 31k they can be really deadly. The catas mace still wins out at the end though.

    Sacred band. These guys don't want to rout sometimes. I feel like they're as strong as spartans.

    To coherently answer your question, Lets say that this sunglass smiley is a cata unit in wedge This smiley is enemy unit one This smiley is enemy unit two.

    In a special version of a wedge charge, the Wedgie, People use the knowledge that a wedged cav unit does not stop charging until it makes contact with a soldier from its targeted enemy.

    So if is here, and and are here, if targets , then gets absolutely instakilled as keeps charging.

    It goes under various names such as the Wedgie or the Z-wedge or the Wedge Trick or the Wedge Glitch. It is not a glitch, because CA never stopped it, and it is only known by clannies and those they choose to tell about it.

    Yeah I always used to charge through enemy ranks with the wedge without needing just by double clicking on the other side of them. They did not always rout but they generally did and than run through them again from behind.

    its not that easy actually and if you do it wrong catas roflstoomp your cav.
    You just gotta try to time-angle it so your cav is able to get off its best potential charge on the cataphracts.
    Edit:and the reason its so good it that a combined charge bonus of 72 is rape.

    I get really pissed off when I get blob charged and my general in a cataphract unit dies.

    Yeah I've heard about it that trick. There was a video done where the catas excellently plowed through a unit to reach its intended target. It works so beautifully but it can also be dangerous if not properly executed.

    Well given the fact that RTW has a core of about 300-500 somewhat competent players that are active/semiactive, It was not long before counter tactics appeared. RTW MP rebalances itself on its own, Much unlike a cat without a head falling from a 10 story building.
