Roman Cataphracts by Darth Ruthon (UPDATED)

I spent years looking at the pics on the mod page for this incredible unit - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=317240467 - and greatly desired to use them, despite being somewhat uncomfortable as to the historical inaccuracy. I came to terms with it, and for those with similar misgivings, I strongly suggest you do the same, as this is probably one of the most incredible-looking cavalry units you will ever see. Rome fought Parthia in epic fashion, and Parthia used heavy Cataphracts against Rome extensively in their encounters. Rome was notorious for adopting their enemies' weapons, strategies, tools; even culture. It is not impossible that at one point, unbeknownst to history, Rome in fact developed their own Cataphract units.

Darth Ruthon envisioned this unit many years ago, but sadly the mod has been broken and inaccessible for most of those years. I studied and learned how to mod - with great assistance from Athanasios95gr on the Total War discord - and have finally managed to update this.

Thank you again to Darth Ruthon for this mod!!!!!!



Available for Rome, with a unit cap, from the level 4 barracks in the Grand Campaign.
