Why are chariots so effective in killing cavalry? ( Is it historically correct?)

Celtic Might!

INDEED!

Chariots are deadly against cavalry (but if you use unorthodox tactics, you can beat them ), but very weak against tightly packed infantry, archer and skirmisher units.

By the way, Cidainh might be a bit OP'd, they have high morale (16), more soldier/unit compared to scythed ones, no running amok feature, they inspire friendly troopers and scare foes, they are cheaper than most cavalry and scythed, their lethality is 1. Actually their only drawback is the low armour value, but who cares when you get so many bonuses. But again, a simple Peltastai could make short work of them, Lol.

Edit: Whoops, I was slow. Anyway the whole thing is different in MP, chariots can be match-winner or match loser units there, it depends who uses them, how, on what terrain and against who.
