well, the problem is that chariots being more lethal is a little stupid, since they will stuff you up when you're using them and they run amok, or they will stuff you up when the computer is using them.

If you want to make the chariots more lethal, maybe add in a unit or so of disposable horsemen to run behind the chariots? That may not directly increase your chariot kill rate, but it will increase their lethality since scattered infantry is lunchmeat for a buncha cavalry (unless they're uber like those CRAZY spartan hoplites... crazy buncha guys can slaughter anything they want, anytime they want).

i know having horsemen runing behind the chariots is a good tactic, but what i wanted to know was is it possible for chariots to kill the troops instead of just knocking them on the ground.

It might be possible to remove the falldown/get backup animation. And if so the soldiers only choice when they get hit is death.

Hmmm, what faction are you playing?

I am currently playing selucid now and the sycthe chariots have those spiked wheels, I do plenty damage with them. Matter of fact, I wasnt paying attention and parked them behind my phalnx near my general and next thing I know they ran amok and killed all my generals bodyguards but 4. Some like the missle chariots tho , do more knockdown.

I dont use them alot due to that running amok feature, same with elephants, or if I do its when they are out in the open and my troops arent around, but its usually my bad fortune to get them routed right thru my troops.

I do'nt know how it's done but asking the question in the modding section will get you there. Of course removing the fall-down animation is no guarantee for successful or desirable results. So before you mod, make a copy of the original.
