how do you hunt chariots when you play Rome?

[Koguryo_hotpocket]

ah... chariots...

[Snowhobbit]

Fast stuff, like Light Cavalry or a jet plane. But most of the time you don't need to chase them as they tend to be totally slaughtered, to a man, in the inital charge.

archers, i like to kill them before they reach my lines.

I don't hunt them, I trap them. My usual army when fighting something with chariots (especially chariot archers, like Pontus or Egypt) is 4 units of archers, 2 units of wardogs, 10 units of tough roman infantry, 3 units of cav and a general. I usually line up the 4 archers in front. I put a line of 7 of those infantry units behind that, 4 men deep. The remaining 3 infantry units line up behind the big infantry line, but only 3 men deep so they stretch out a bit further. Cavalry, dogs, and general are behind this. The archers shoot as long as they can. The majority of the time, the chariots wind up charging at the archers to run them off. I just manually run them back through the infantry line (turning fire at will off at this point), and let the chariots pursue them straight into the infantry. Chariots can usually penetrate a 4-deep line of infantry (about 2/3 of the chariots seem to come out the other side), but they've lost most of their speed and momentum, and cannot make it through the second line of infantry. At that point, the life expectancy of the chariots is measured in seconds. I chop them into firewood and move on.

Either I ignore them and fight the rest of the army, creaking my teeth while my soldiers take the arrows, either I shoot them with foot archers.

Light Cavalry and War Dogs are your best friend!

Archers. Chariots are big targets that fall apart quickly under sustained fire.

As the Parthians I took out many Chariots (especially Egyptians) with Horse archers, and some foot archers.
