Combat profile
The available combat values are included here so the numbers can be read as a profile rather than an isolated list. Hit points and armor describe how long the unit can remain exposed; attack and any bonus damage describe what it threatens; range, reload, accuracy, and movement describe how reliably it can engage or disengage. A value shown for a whole upgrade line applies to the listed stages as recorded, so compare the stage names instead of treating the line as one base unit.
Field use
Preserve space between this unit and melee attackers so it can keep firing. Pair it with a screen, focus fire on reachable targets, and avoid letting a faster force surround it.

Sogdian Cataphract: Sogdian Cataphracts pair cavalry mobility with strong pierce protection and a role against Archers and siege. Their sight is limited, so scouting and route choice help them reach targets safely Use scouts or another unit to reveal the firing line, then send Sogdian Cataphracts around a flank to pressure Archers or exposed siege. Keep them moving between targets and return to the main army when the opponent builds a melee screen Their cavalry role leaves them vulnerable to anti-cavalry units, and limited vision can lead them into an ambush. Do not send them blindly through a narrow approach
