Huh? Unless Brihentin, Curepos and the likes don't qualify; I've never had problem destroying those units using a Casse bodyguard + random (usually Sotaroas who've spent all their missiles) crappy infantry unit with pointy sticks... Trick is to smash the dense formation, and litteraly 'shove' the cavalry under the ground as it were.

Chariot attacks against cavalry are the equivalent of 'ramming' infantry with phalanxes: if you do it right you barely suffer any casualties at all; if you do it wrong your unit will get surrounded and promptly cut to pieces.
