Zero Hitpoints?

I've been wondering... given that IRL the Celtic chariot was really more of a "battle taxi" for a senior warrior, and the crews wear about Bataroas-level war gear, wouldn't it more or less work to simply give the unit secondary defense stats more or less identical to the primaries, to represent the fighting crewman fending off enemies ? Granted that doesn't really account for the way the horses are sorta exposed save for there not being a shield value in the secondary line, but since you kinda need to abstract anyway...

The celtic chariot indeed was used mostly as a taxi. However I think this wouldmake things a bit to abstract. And we'd getting multiple threads of fans stating that chariots are overpowered, every week.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't...?

A fair point certainly. Still, that approach would sort of make sense to me... Ah well, modding time I guess.
