I hear you.

I love rocking up to a barbarian town or city, with it's wooden stockade and highly flamable buildings. It's like shooting fish in a barrel! By the time I take my troops in I'm only up against a bunch of half-fried semi-units who've lost the will to fight.

They are also good for dealing with chariots....god I hate chariots, and especially Egyptian ones at that.
