    I seem to be unable to handle chariots well, they´re just too cumbersome (look at all the space they occupy), even whey I tie down the enemy at the front and use my chariots to attack the flanks they drop like flies. And too few actually deliver their punch, the rest overshoots on either side of the target, resulting in the chariots to circle in on one enemy troop, but at the same time getting bogged down and presenting their own flanks to others. No, I prefer cavalry any day of the week. They still suffer the highest losses in my battles, but at least they take a lot with them.

    Me too. i tell them too go forward, and he majority do but some go backwards and others run around in circles for a while. Calvary are much easier. also chariots take up alot of room on the battle map and they dont cause too much damage to infantry. It just knocks them over, they get back up and then (surprisingly easily) kill my charioteers. I once charged some chariots into some peasants. 5 of my chariots were destroyed to 6 of their peasants

    I voted Cavalry for its practicality...

    But my woaded heart lies with Chariots and causing brown trousers time for my foes!
