I wrote that. What I mean is, they are EXTREMELY cost effective against those units. It doesn't mean they can defeat them 1 vs. 1. Knights and Cataphracts both cost 75 GOLD atop 60/70 Food; after Mercenaries, Mags just cost 80 FOOD. Even without Mercenaries if you choose to pay the 10 Gold, you're still getting the better value for resources. You're putting a nice dent in your enemies' gold intensive units with your trash unit.

It gets even better vs. the Cataphract, as your enemy is not getting to use his Cataphract's bonus vs. Infantry or bonus defense as Cavalry.

Note that list does not include the Boyar. Mags are rather ineffective vs. Boyars due to their heavy melee armour.
