*As usual it will take around 1 hour after uploading for the video quality options to become available! ;) In episode 18 of my "Break the Meta" series for Age of Empires 2 I analyzed a situation in which massing Elite Cataphracts was an effective strategy on the map Arena. While Elite Cataphracts are incredibly powerful when they are massed, they require several Castles and many expensive upgrades in order to be effective. In this match DauT sees a unique opportunity where making Cataphracts may have been the best option for the Byzantines.
