What do you guys think about cataphracts? I just got pwned in medi vs them. They don't really have a counter. Pikes and Elephants are actually weaker:
Pike w/ combat 2: (6 + 100%) + 10% + 10% = 13.2 Elephant w/ combat 2: (8 + 50%) + 10% +10% = 13.6 Cataphract w/ combat 2: 12 + 10% + 10% = 14.4
As you can see a cataphract will have odds and a catapult won't damage them too much because their power is so high.
Discuss. Tawk amongst yowrselves.

What do you guys think about cataphracts? Its just a natural part of aging. If they get bad enough, sometimes you must have eye surgery!

Right now they are balanced by the Byzantine's traits and Unique building, I think.
While they are powerful, they are by no means unstoppable.

They are the most rediculous unit yet, the only suitable counter is formation pikes which you can't mass produce unless you are an agressive civ. Most mind blowing is they decided to nerf conquistadors but then add a unit that is better than conqs were in the first place.

They will argue against you, just for the sake of being against you. However, when you point out that they want to replace a unit with a unit that is same unit, but better, they scream bloody murder. Damnit, the future of gaming is playing together. Nintendo's whole strategy for the Wii is based on it. Wii would like to play.
