The cataphract can be countered with pikes. Unpromoted they are 50%, but with equal promotions they get better odds then 50%.
The praet beats an equally promoted axe
Axe vs Greek phanlanx 50% if there are not some changes i dont know.

Sorry I overlooked shock promotion.
Assuming this
Pike attacks cataphract
Unpromoted 50%
C1 vs C1 = pike wins 60%-70%
C2 vs C1 Shock = cata wins with slightly better odds then 50
C2 Formation vs C2 Shock = pike wins with 70%+
Pike defends cataphract no fortification
Unpromoted 50
C1 vs C1 = cata wins with 65%
C2 vs C1 Shock = cata wins with over 70%
C2 Formation vs C2 Shock = cat wins with 67%
With full fortification of 25%
Unpromoted = pike wins with 70%+
C1 vs C1 = pike wins with ca. 70%
C2 vs C1 Shock = 50%
C2 Formation vs C2 Shock= pike wins with ca. 65%

Of course that's correct.

Yeah, pikes counter catephracts and are 2/3 of the cost. Not saying catephracts aren't strong, but if you had, for example, a stack of ckns and some pikes I'm sure you'd be able to scare them off...

You won't have equal promotions on pikes vs cataphracts. Not against their best.

Well first sent 2-3 cats, and after 4,5 chokos and pike will have a field day. I think with chokonuts you defend the easier against practs, if you have engenireng should be very doable. I remeber pindicator killing a pile of cavalry with choks, wow that was epic and ruined Dtay chanse of winning that pitbos.

Just waiting for either Lewwyn or NoGas to be declared the winner.
