Well the Roman cavalry is no better than whatever the Aedui or Arverni muster (indeed, it's usually worse); and even Triarii don't quite fancy playing the hero in front of a unit of Belgae Milnaht + Casse bodyguards on the background: chariots really do inspire *a lot* of fear in most enemy units. And those that don't let themselves be intimidated that easily are usually (cavalry) easily overpowered by those very same Chariots. That alone makes a Casse bodyguard one of the most potent units on the battle field.
