As for the chariot unit, as I've stated earlier. There are so many units in the game that some are incomplete or have erroneous stats info in the EDU. Chariots and elephants are two examples - they don't have armor, making them incredibly vulnerable. This is corrected if you download TW Fanatic's mod or just wait for 1.1
Ohh believe me, i am waiting for eb1.1 impatient!
