Chariots can fill a nice niche role in the battlefield as infantry intimidators, impromptu skirmishers and cavalry slayers. One of my favorite defense strategies when Casse gets attacked by the Caledonians early in the game is to place my massed FM Chariots on the higher part of the city and the infantry covering the flanks in a vertical line, watching from the Warlord's Hold. Then as the Caledonian mass approaches not only they get a hail of missiles on both their flanks, but when they pile up on the lower town I charge my chariots at them with devastating effect. Most of them run after mere seconds, meaning that I never had more than twenty casualties when defeating them.
Though I still think Brilhentin are far better and more useful in general.
