I almost never charge with my HA even more so against a phallanx. And i wouldn't say HA are over-powered anyway.It takes 3 units of Pahlavan Shivatir(shooting from all sides) to completely destroy a unit of pantodapoi or clerouchoi phallangitai (on medium settings).Of course once horse archers start maxing up silver chevrons things change in my humble oppinion only nomad FM (Pahlava/Saka/Sauro) are seriously overpowered: Used en masse they can run through (almost) everything in a frontal attack, they can shoot (but that's when they're also at their weakest especially against Hetairoi which can charge them with lances) and are IMMUNE to missiles.Plus you get to field quite a few of those tanks at ridicously low price of 200 mnai/turn (and of course they regenerate).Cataphracts are similarly overpowered however their high cost-demands (MIC-recruitment-upkeep) kind of "temper" this edge.All in all i'ld say the nomad FM's are their faction's saving grace.
