Stronger Cataphracts for Bactria, Seleucid and Parthia & other Increases.

Description
So, this is my first mod and I made it for personal use, but I thought there might be others out there who are annoyed by the fact that CA weakened Cataphracts so much that they´re not worth the money any more.
I wanted to see the cataphracts slaughtering everything in their way!
I increased the charge bonus, melee attack and melee defence of the following units:

-Hellenic Cataphracts for Bactria and Seleucid

-Royal Cataphracts, Camel Cataphracts and Eastern Cataphracts for Parthia.

UPDATE:
-I have have now increased the melee defence values for all Shock Cavalry.

-Macedonian Foot Companions, Egyptian Royal Thorax Swordsmen, Galatian Royal Guard, Seleucid Silver shield Swordmen, Royal Peltasts, Scythed Chariots, and barbarian Elite Sword Infantry and Roman Praetorian Guard are now stronger, so they are really elite.

-Also I tried to balance the gap between the Barbarian elite Infantry and the roman infantry, for example Oathsworn can now take an Evocati Cohort head on.

-Thorax Swords, parthian Swords and Pontic swords and Lybian Infantry are now stronger so that the greek, carthaginian and eastern factions have some good sword units as well.

-Also the Gladiators, Shobek Cultists, Druidic Nobles and Beserkers are now much stronger as in a form of Shock Infantry. Berserkers are the strongest.

They might seem to be a bit overpowered, but that is exactly what I wanted them to be. Though they are not immortal.
I hope you like my mod and feel free to use it in any way you like,
cheers!

UPDATE: Now working with the latest patch and CA newest Unit updates. (Patch 16)

UPDATE: All Shock cavalry now have enormous charge bonus, so they destroy on impact, much like shock Cav in Attila TW

sounds like a great mod, but i am running too many unit packs already, game crashes. any way you could release a mod that only affects any and all Cataphracts (including Persia). Cataphracts weren't just a lot heavier in armor, but were professionally trained from childhood, and used lances and stirrups long before the west.

Hey really appreciate your mod, but could you lower their melee attack and defence each by 15 Points, since they are SHOCK Cavalry.

good stuff thank you! i was wondering if you could boost the indian elephants and elephants charge too please? kind of ridiculous how units will take barely any casualties off a charge from a group of elephants
