companion cavalry

I kind of think they are a waste of points. You beat the Romans with pikes and cataphracts. All the other stuff should be structured to help them win the fight. I don't know how the companions do this.

Depends on your style. I think the pike and cataphracts are insufficent head on or at least not certain. The Agema allow you to bend the end of the roman line and flank it while it has to face the very dangerous pike and Cats to its front.
