Dear EB Team or... gods of the EB universe xDI would like to have some infos. Ever since I play EB I ask a question about one of my fav units out there the Hetaieroi Kataphraktoi, like what are the sources of the design of the unit blah blah blah the answer was that the design Idea is from a stone relief found during the afghanistan war so we cannot have additional infos about it (surely someone of the devs must have at least a pic eh?). So too my questions. Can you give us a hint how the diversity within the Het Kata models will look like? Will they be even in the first release, or are they cut? So I plead you ohh mighty Eb Gods give me a sign hahahaCheers!

this same relief may very well depict parthian/sassasian cataphracts and not bactrian ones,which seems a little too far strethced in my opinion.

if we dont see any picture we cant decide.

The person who had the opportunity to study the stone had a verified phd in Archaeology, I'm quite sure that if he was very sure it was an applicable source,well it was.

Master Moros, ey, doesn't sound to bad. Not at all.

Anyway the Hetairoi Kat. weren't seen as priority unit and have not yet been modelled and are highly unlikely to feature in the first release. Will they eventually make it into EBII? Not sure. I'm not one of the designated historians for the Area. Currently they are not and aren't planned for the near future either.
