Latinikon were basically Italian Mercenaries on horseback. Kavallaroi afaik were just heavy cavalry.
We use Kavallaroi term for generally describing all native Byzantine cavalry. Not too histirically accurate, but couldn't come up with anything better.

Well, there were some feudal cav, called Pronoiarii. Or you could name them Scholarii, like the cataphracts were named. Or perhaps Stratiotae or Cavalarii.
Don't mind the fish.

Thought I'd just pop a message in and say sorry for not being in teamspeak tonight, I've been on a roll with my English Empire in Medieval Total war II. Time passes pretty fast, I'll see if I can pop in after I've finished off my conquests.

I witnessed something shocking today, a disgraceful and downright disgusting act performed by two byzantium members, i hope in future such things can be avoided.

Yeah, but so far i'd say the AI in BC is the best i've seen in any TW mod/game .

Stainless steel has 3 different AIs you can choose from, and the battle AI is the one that every good mod uses and I bet it can hold its own VH/VH against any other

I don't like Byzants in it though, annoying how you don't have Constantinople in the beginning, and they have like a full stack rebels guarding it
