Gallic factions can recruit Cidainh (Celtic chariots) in mic 4 in Lemorisae, Armoriae, Bellovacaea Belgica, Cornovae, Cassemorg and Corieltauvae but IIRC they lose them after the last reform.

Why not make chariots like a support unit. like the chanting druids? Chariots that can stay behind the battle line and boost the morale of the army, and perhaps be used to chase down routers.

Actually that's pretty much what the Casse chariots do in EB.
They boost morale, scare enemies and disrupt enemy formations and after the rout they start killing.

Really? I have never played the Casse and the few times I have met them the chariots has been charging right at me, smashed to pieces...

Ok correction... that's what you do when you use them properly and get 500+kill with one unit unitl you can win anything with the Casse.

And what the AI would do if it had even the slightest hint of "I".

The engine allows Casse chariots, provided they never stop moving, to move around an enemy formation completely unharmed, trampling anyone that stand before them and impaling others with those javelins.

Scythed chariots, however, have a traditional cavalry charge.

Interesting. What would be the effect of giving scythed chariots the same engine as the Casse chariots? Perhaps the AI decides to use the scythes more than their charge? That would be quite an improvement imo.
