#1: Assyrians.
Although the Assyrians get the Cataphract upgrade, they lack Nobility and Plate Armor. It may not seem like it, but Nobility is actually a bigger deal then the Cataphract upgrade on Randon Map games, as Nobility is relevant right from the Bronze Age whereas the Cataphract upgrade... I think Cataphracts are underrated but even I have to admit it is expensive as heck and the game is going to have to be pretty long for it to be worth it, as a upgrade.
#2: Sumerians.
The Sumerians, alongside with the Egyptians, are the two only civilizations on the game to lack Cavalry on the Bronze Age. The difference between the two is quite simple: Between the Egyptian bonus and Storage Pit upgrade, Egyptian Chariots are-Much-Better.
#3: Greeks.
Well, they have the Heavy Cavalry upgrade. ... Not much else, though.
#4: Minoans.
Although, compared to the Greeks, they lack Heavy Cavalry, the presence of Camel Riders means that at least during the Bronze Age, their cavalry gets to be a bit better then the Greeks. Granted, it sucks on the Iron Age, but so does Greek cavalry, so...
#5: Choson.
Now, they do get Cataphracts! ... And lack Plate Armor! ... And just about every other cavalry unit!
