Were celtic chariots really fighting as skirmishers? I have read sth about chariots in anciet times and it seems that there were basically 3 types of chariots: light eastern chariots used as mobile archers, heavy scythed chariots and chariots used in Europe. Europe was mostly covered with dense forests, so chariots couldn't fight as archers (or other skirmishers). Instead they were fighting as mobile infantry. I know that it is impossible in RTW to make chariots that would merely transport soldiers but it would still give me more sense if Cidaihn fought in melee (sorry for my crappy English).
