I think @TriRem could definetly look over it and say if there need to be adjustments
I advice not to tag someone twice
Itās their choice to check here, so better to not keep tagging them
(Off-Topic but better to be said)

NOTE: Unique Tech gives Unique Unit, Cavalry Archer and Steppe Lancer +3 vs Infantry

I think it sounds like a very cool idea, but would it overpower the byzantines too much? Or would it change their civ identity too much? Iām afraid this would turn into them becoming more of a CA civ then a defensive civ. Just some things to think about.
Hereās an idea, first remove the attack bonus against spears, then add that Logistica also effects the Cataphract archer unit, maybe not the trample aspect, as Iām not sure how that would work, but the +6 attack vs infantry. That would further incentivize researching that tech, which would indirectly buff Cataphracts themselves since thereās more situations where going to them is the right option (since youāll usually get the logistica tech.) So they still donāt have Parthian tactics, but the Logistica tech applying to them is ultimately more powerful.
Finally, as a balance adjustment remove arbs from byzantine. So they are still a trash/defensive civ until imp, when they can ultimately get to two powerful units. But they can also start massing CA on Castle, though youāll want to be careful with them missing bloodlines.

No, thatās a bad idea. Arbs are really important for byz and any hypothetical CA unit would not be able to substitute them in a cost effective way.
Oh I know they are super important, I play arbs 100% of the time Iām byzantines. But I think they would need some counter active nerf if we add a chataphract archer, since Iād say they are currently in a pretty good place.

I like this idea since CA is the only current unit without a 3rd update.
