These guys drive me nuts. I'm not sure what a good counter to them is.

Traditionally, the counter to mounted archers has been light cavalry that can chase them down. But that won't work here, because in my experience even light chariots massacre all types of cavalry. The only I've found to effectively fight chariots is to swarm them with infantry. Once they stop, the infantry will cut them down pretty easily. But infantry has to make contact first, and that's almost impossible to do with chariot archers.

I just spend the last 30 minutes chasing one unit of chariot archers around the map before I lost to the timer. *sigh* Can we maybe reinstate the moral penalty for when a unit does nothing but run?
