I'm not sure what the EB team is going to do about chariots, because CA created quite a problem with them, chariots are very overpowered in autocalc, but very underpowered in battle.

I've been testing 1.5 for quite some time now, and found a very good method for increasing the effectiveness of chariots in battle, while at the same time slightly reducing their power in autocalc. They aren't tanks in my balance, but they aren't useless like I've seen in Vanilla or .74 EB. I'll be rebalancing the entire EDU text when .8 comes out.
