I don't play MP. Since in MP your opponent would control the targeting, the chariots would be nearly useless. Might be able to use them against a Carthaginian or Spanish opponent since they lack foot archers -- and chariots fare no worse against hefalumps than any other cavalry, but any of the other factions would tear them up too quickly.

Might want to deploy 1-4 chariot units of light or heavy type in MP in order to focus your opponent while you bring the rest of your infantry army up to where you want it to be, but I think that would be about it.
