Cavalry / Shock Cavalry / (Bac_Cataphracts_Early)
Baktrioi Kataphraktoi
(Bactrian Cataphracts)

During Alexander's conquest of the East, Bactrians often fought along nomadic cataphracts. The Greco-Bactrians, accustomed with the shock tactics of steppe warriors, have adopted such tactics before other Hellenic kingdoms. While not as heavily armoured as the classic Parthian cataphracts, these riders display the early evolution of cavalry into heavier units.
