I don't believe they were using chariots when Persia conquered them let alone Macedon. Now, against the Hittites ----

Well, the chariots are easily defeated - eventually they'll charge headlong into your phalanx troops. Historically, the Egyptians of the time had a hard time with the Selucids because they would only use Greek and Macedonian soldiers in their armies. There weren't that many of them in living in Egypt so they hired mercenaries to guard cities and beef up their land armies which were quite small - basically they were a naval power. Yeah, I totally agree.
