Thanks for the comment. Imo it is mainly due to the "loose" formation of the gladiators :)

Warriors with bare chests = "Well armoured" Cataphracts dismantled these guys for the same reasons they did Urban Cohorts: No spear / anti-cav ability and being "Well armoured." Catphracts have maces with Armor Piercing. This makes them a unit type that Cataphracts will eat alive.

Interesting to see them loose to chariots but win against 1st tier elephants. I'm guessing that their loose formation is what looses the chariot battle, but their resistance to knockback is what wins the elephant one.

Chariots are the perfect counter for loose formation units like the Gladiators and Cilician Pirates. It'll give the Chariots more room to maneuver. However, they're not good against a tightly packed units like the Phalanx & Legionnaires, they'd get stuck and destroyed. Since Chariots have the tendency to "Park" lol. Elephants (1st tier) whoever doesn't have that fast agility of the chariots, after the initial charge. On top of that it could be the loose formation of the Gladiators that's why they didn't took much casualties against a smaller elephants. They'd get poked to death by the Gladiators, Elephants tend to go "melee" thus taking damage against a spear unit, unlike the Chariots that kept moving around, pushing the Gladiators constantly on the ground preventing them to attack.

Alas, although they are my favourites they do fall behind the others 👀 I am curious how gladiators fair against bezerkers, with their high morale and hitpoints? 👀

They have a better Charge attack then Cataphracts who are also way slower to a noticeable degree which is why in the Roman Legion type tests they get hit with Pila sooner whereas Companions are much faster and hit harder as their role of Shock Cavalry entails meaning they would get their charge attack in before the Legions throw their Pila. Is the difference much less noticeable when you could get Catas earlier and just have them flank anyway while using Greek Cavalry as good enough flankers? Sure and I will fully agree Companions are too underpowered for their tier but there are certain benefits to them even if it is more the player wanting to LARP as Alexander then any useful reason.

Gladiators aren't bad units, but are expensive and require last tier of entertaiment facility. I presonally use them only when other Romans or high tier rebbel attack my money making city in the middle of territory.
