so...my cataphracts tend to get owned by other cavalry factions if they don't have superior numbers, and if I try to disengage, I lose half the unit, what is going on and will CA fix this and let my shock cav cycle charge?!

It just doesn't make sense for a more expensive unit to be worse off in TW logic. Plus the infantry is almost useless anyway, so if parthia has an edge its cavalry. in melee heavily armored cap. shouldn't be torn apart by less armored units with *swords*...their armor should make shields superflous, especially when facing swords in melee. Just wish the INSANE stats for some other elite cav (arveni noble horse, heroic rides, preat. cav etc ) units could be fixed.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFYhKXSBz3g
