Also removing them from the mainland Gallic factions doesn't make that much sense as Gauls were using chariots as far along as Telamon against the Romans which is over 50 years into our timeframe.

Yes, I've admitted that it would be a gamey decision for that very reason. If you remove their fear trait, though, no Gallic player would use chariots anymore (why would you?), so in effect it would be the same, only now things are seriously worse for Casse.

Another option might be to remove the fear from the 40-man chariots, but keep it on the 20-man chariot, which is exclusive to the Casse. Though that's obviously gamey too, and inconsistent to boot. (And still a slight weakening of Casse.) Sigh.

That way, only the Aedui would be able to bring a chanting unit (one which is more expensive) while the Arjos could be given a bit of a boost as well so that it would also make sense to play as Arverni. This would be a much better "fix" to the Gauls.

While I have thought about this before and, well, lets say "reluctantly came to the conclusion that the other position doesn't hold up". I've been very loath to admit it because there already is no sense in picking the Arverni, and this change would only make it even worse. It would have to be more than "a bit" of a boost, in other words.
