    Everyone must remember, however, that chariots only defence is their hitpoints, they have virutally no defence value. So even if you archers haven't killed enough to make that unit non-dangerous, it will die easily in melee.

    I have always found that there are several ways to pwn chariots.
    1. Hit them with javs, arrows, pila. They will die fast.
    2. Let them run into a phalanx head on. They die instantly.
    3. Let them fight your legionaries head on. After about 8 seconds in melee, you will the see the chariots start to die, even sooner if your legionaries have let loose a volly or two of pila.

    Hope this helps.

    From my limited experience, it seems first impact with the chariots with cavalry causes a lot of dead chariots, but after the charge your cavalry gets absolutely massacred.
