Unique unit. Slower than normal cavalry, but has very good rates of fire/ attack.

  • Light chariots - armed with javelin and bow. They are the primary light cav unit of most factions. Not as fast as professional horse cavalry, but devastating if used for hit and run attacks on melee units.
  • Slower but tougher than conventional Light chariots. Has some armour, so they are not easily destroyed. They are usually armed with composite bows, meaning that they can reach very far.
  • Heavy Chariot - pure melee, meant for tearing into light infantry at close range.

If you are fighting chariots, it pays to ensure that they are attacking only melee infantry with no support. Ultimately, Asian factions can simply chew through chariots like no one's business, simply because of their access to crossbows, which deal a 160% damage modifier against enemy chariots and elephants alike like javelins.

Attacks from pikes or elephants are a straight up insta-kill for chariots.
