Playing the Julii 1.3 and noticed the Brits were making some chariot units; some light, some heavy. For the first time ever, I noticed in the unit description of heavy chariots (I think) something which said: "Special attack" or "Secondary attack".
Now, it took me forever in RTW to discover that you could get cataphracts to use a secondary attack with their maces. My question is, what's this "special" or "secondary" attack of the British chariots? The heavy ones don't have any missile attack. The only thing I can think of is the way they plow through infantry and flip them into the air. But is that all? If you Alt+attack do they actually start to kill people? (I remember being appalled by the non-lethality of the heavy chariots the first time I played the Britons. Couldn't even kill a unit of routing peasants.)
