Yeah, they would not be used to fight a pitch battle. Rather an attack on a city or an enemy camp would be the 'common' use of them.

I kinda like the broken charge bonus, since a lot of ancient sources sound like cavalry were great because they could stab from way up on their horse and intimidated foot soldiers, which is what they're generally good for in EB. My problem with charge bonus is when heavy cav slam into even very light infantry and pretty much just stop.
Night battles without the torches would be very cool...troops scaling walls by moonlight could look very awesome. Too bad you can't have units get confused and start killing each other...it would add an extra intensity to it.
