Their position at the start of the game is a good one: They only control five towns, fewer than anyone else, but they're dense and relatively close together. The highlands northwest of the empire are controlled by the Battanian confederation. Cataphracts are armored head-to-toe and carry lances and bows, making them some of the most deadly and flexible heavy cavalry in the game. Their rare recruit is the Imperial Vigla, which upgrades to Cataphract. While they have access to crossbowmen, their archer upgrade path leads to the far more effective (and well-armored) Palatine Guard or Bucellarii horse archers. Their melee troops excel when they drive into Infantryman and Legionaries, as they carry shields and heavy throwing weapons. The imperial military use heavy cataphract cavalry, effective archers, and a core of versatile heavy infantry. The Western Empire controls several wealthy cities, but often ends up locked in grinding wars of attrition with the Battanians.
