Chariots: Cut or Keep?

[Sangfugol]

btw are there any plans regarding a change of the assasins?

I don´t get it why they are so weak in cityfight as cities (their own or the enemy´s making no difference) are their favourite battlegrounds like the country is for rangers.

Just an idea: how about chariots carring catapults? Or the disensembled parts of them.

 

[Ekolite]

Yep, the AI will love that...

Though there might have been light cavalry with and without bows on Earth, perhaps they did not think about that on Erebus?

And I agree there has to be something to kill off recon.

Want to change to keep chariots.

Maybe take some influence from Ancient India.

Elite archers that rode on chariots. Like this: http://chalu.netfirms.com/images/chariot.jpg

No more War Chariots? How dissapointing. I think it's nice to keep a mod from going overboard with tons of units and buildings but I'm dissapointed with some recent cuts. It's nice to keep it balanced and clean but soon we'll have nothing but warriors and granerys left. For me, war chariots were my favorite unit. It's not like they were voted out in a landslide. I wish the war chariot/knight similarity was dealt with in a more creative fashion. Oh well, it's not going to stop me from spending many more hours of my life playing this mod but if this was Georgia, there would have to be a revote. If this was only Georgia...

No fair! The left vote has been split by the keep chariots party and the extremist Kael's crazy party! The need to form a coalition for democratic reform making it fairer in a tri-party situation!

long live third parties!

but anyway, chariots imo don't add much to the game, and if they cause complexities, then by all means cut them. but i think normal chariots should stay and have war chariot be a UU for some civ.

Aye, Kael pulled a Nader.

There is nothing complex about having war chariots in the game. Just build them in your cities and when they are ready, use them to attack your enemies.

Just kidding. I know it was almost like having 8 of the same national unit between war chariots and knights. I just saw some people on this forum offer much better solutions than simply taking them out all together.
