The funny thing about chariots is that in real life, they were WAY more armored than normal calvary and scythed chariots were created for the sole reason of killing Alexanders Phalanxes. They make chariots in this game completely opposite of real ones. How does a horse have more armor than 2 horses and and huge wooden platform surrounded by walls? 1 def. is F#%^#ing ridiculus!

they can be good for breaking up formations,eg charge in just before infantry make contact and they mess up formations really well...they are also good for running THROUGH the line...so they can get behind really easily, which does give the enemies morale damage, it also allows them to hunt down routers or archers, but even one should be wary of that...think of them as light cavalry mainly...i am not very experianced or good with them...

Reaper_93 is right. Chariots are terrible against the elephants. Also, against most everything else, besides missile troops, they are worthless. The only way to get around this problem is to, literally, go around. Use the chariots like you do cav. As a flanking force. The pikes (if you're up against them) can't get you if they're facing the other way.
