I say we need more distinctive units, so, "yes".

Re: Scythed Chariots?
"they were used once or twice"?
I'm no historian, but if you mean teh seleucid scythed chariot...It was a parade horse wich was used to ill succes twice....
Honestly Rhino's were used more often and more effective...
dunno If I'm correct, and definatly don't know much about pontic chariots/Casse's/gaul's...
Re: Scythed Chariots?
I voted yes keep the scythed chariot because if I know only one time where they were used by the Seleucids (Magnesia), I think that they were used a lot by Pontus in the Mithridatic wars.
If I remember correctly they were used efficiently at Ennium in 61 BC with Galatian mercenaries but it's true that in others occasions they were useless.
They were a distinctive if not useful part of the Pontos and Seleucid army and should be kept in the game as far as I'm concerned.
