Phract Smack

Use:
-when the enemy has absolutely NO traps, abatis, trebs
-when the enemy has none to very few layers
-to decimate ranged units (archers, ballista, pults)

Layering Mechanics:

What makes a phract smack so deadly is how you layer it. If you include a very small number of range units (archers, ballista, catapults), the enemy ranged units will shoot those down first meaning your phracts will escape fire for a few rounds before reaching the enemy archers andusing their massive attack and life to decimate them.

Example:

1,000 scouts
123,667 Cataphracts
111 Archers
111 Ballista
111 Catapults


Or you can just use an ordinary phract smack if you need to attack quickly.

    1. Because the phracts hit the ranged units (ballista, pults, archers) on a short field (making the journey to the enemy faster) against few/no layers. This gives the archers/pults/ballista very limited time to fire against the phracts (which btw have a lot of life). Phracts are deadly ;)

  2. This is one of my favorite attacks, it wreaks havoc on basically everything with 2,3,4 layers.
