Raising it

The Cataphract comes out of its own spawner, which your Builder raises for 2,000 gold in the middle of a battle. Once it stands it musters a Cataphract every 1 minute 18 seconds by itself, and levelling it shortens that — to 50.4 seconds at level 2 and 32.3 seconds at level 3.

Upgrades cost 1,250 gold to level 2 and 5,650 gold to level 3. Every level also makes the troops it musters hit harder and last longer.

Before it can be raised at all it has to be unlocked in the Armory, for 1,350 gold — gold carried between battles, earned by fighting them.
