Because of their diverse and efficient roster, the empire is likely one of, if not the, most viable factions in the game. Do you require effective archers who can get the job done and are well-armored?

The Palantine guards are on your side. Infantry with the ability to hold their ground? Trained infantrymen with the ability to upgrade to legionnaires, who are insanely effective and have a throwing pistol as a bonus. Do you require horse archers? Buccelari. What about cavalry? If you can find a large number of recruits or capture nobles to recruit from enemy imperial armies, you can have decent cavalry that can be upgraded into mega tanks, the elite cataphracts.

The empire can meet all of your needs, and if you have most, if not all, of your units upgraded to max tier, they will become effective killing machines against all types of opponents, though this is weighed down by the fact that enemy parties rarely have a large selection of max tier / high tier units, so if you have an extremely elite army, Natuurlijk, it will be effective, although imperial troops lag behind.

Strategies and Tactics

The bread, butter, and milk of your army will be its combination of cataphracts, heavy infantry, and archers.

Cataphracts are the game’s most heavily armored unit, and their mobility allows them to act as a literal wall of steel. Because of their armor, their main concern when it comes to the range will be enemy javelins and crossbowmen, which can pierce their armor. In the melee, enemy cavalry or anti-cav can be lethal, but cataphracts can overcome this with the help of their infantry. This is where the value of heavy infantry comes into play.

When advancing on an enemy who has ranged them, your infantry will be advised to hold fire and shield walls. The range will target your infantry, but their shields should suffice. If the enemy cavalry tries to disorient your lines while the infantry is being targeted, your archers will be supporting the infantry on the flanks, harassing the enemy cavalry, and shooting at the enemy’s range. If things get dicey, you’ll have your troops ready to rush to the aid of either the infantry or the archers. You’ll always want your troops close to your infantry, not only to protect them but also to collaborate once you’ve closed the gap with the enemy.

Once you’ve advanced to within striking distance of the enemy, make sure your infantry fires their javelins before engaging. With your archers constantly putting pressure on them, the javelins should kill some and weaken the enemy. The use of your tactics determines whether a battle is flawless or flawed. Cataphracts were historically used to break up and open enemy formations, allowing the skoutai, or Byzantine infantry/spearmen, to move through these gaps and attack the enemy. We plan to do something very similar.

Cataphracts are magnificent tanks, and they should be sent in to charge the enemy infantry just as your infantry is about to meet theirs, disorienting their lines and destroying their cohesion. When the enemy infantry loses cohesion, they become easy prey for the infantry, who can easily kill and surround them. Because it is dependent on the players’ timing and strategic ability, the strategy can be difficult to master. It is, Echter, extremely rewarding, and the cataphracts are excellent at disorienting the infantry, which is exactly what you want them to do. They’re not like the Sicilian knight-only armies of warbands, so you don’t want cataphract armies, though I’m sure you could.
