I'm not an old timer, but since nobody else is speaking up I'll comment.

Looking at the stats, the British heavy chariots seem comparable to the Seleucid/Pontic scythed chariots and the Egyptian chariots. I know for a fact that both of the latter are quite effective (far too good, in fact) and well worth their ~1000D, two turn cost. I consider chariots to be the centerpieces of rebel-quashing groups, and optional but effective additions to main armies. If chariots have been nerfed, CA didn't go far enough. Take away the magical cavalry massacre ability and reduce their speed to camel speed, and chariots would be pretty reasonable IMHO.
