Does anyone use the chariot unit in Vanilla, PTW or C3C? It seems like just having horsemen is more economically practical, and the Chariot has such a short life span. What are they good for?

I always build Chariots, i avoid developing Horseback until i have some decent amount of Chariots, 20 or more is good for me. I build them but i don´t use them, i turn research to 0%, stockpile gold and then research Horseback Riding or trade it from a parnter and upgrade them all to Horsemen in a single turn, then i invade my nearest neighbour without warning. I do the same for Warriors/Swordsmen.
So i like Chariots because they are cheap fast units that can be upgraded easily. If no money for upgrades they can be used for pillaging along with a spearmen, move the chariot and spear to a tile, the spearmen can´t move anymore but the chariot can still pillage, next turn repeat the process.
That's true for me anyways. The only two times that I've played as them, I used that strategy. Both of those were great victories.Let me guess, you're favorite Civ is the Iroquois, right? I'll have to try that strategy.

Mansory allows me to choose an early granary if forest chops are avaiable.
I thought you need pottery for granaries.
Carthage is a good civ btw.
, plus the earlier contact newtwork due to Curragh gets me a SGL many times.
Maybe he uses The Pyramids as a pre-build for a granary until he gets a contact which has Pottery.
Abaddon said:how does that work?
Because every tech you learn, that no one else has learnt is a change of a SGL right? So rapidly lead the pack then charge on ahead of them, trading as you go?
