    You might be able to add them in yourself. RTR has the Seleucids with chariots, but not Macedon.


    Also, chariots vs. Legionnaires isn't exactly indicative of superiority. A couple of archer units behind the legionnaires will mess up chariots big time.

    If you have lots of heavy cavalry and the enemy only have legionaries, just charge straight into them. Victory in no time.

    Macedonians didn't use chariots historically. I suppose that's why they aren't in the game. They actually despised them.

    Thats the way to look at them

    I personally like fighting Romans the best, cause thats who I spend most of my time fighting against and I know their weaknesses.
    try the Elephant+cavalry combo,
    I tried 2 normal(small) ele units and 2 roundshield cav against and army of 14 hastati, I crushed them like there was no tomorrow, charge both eles(overlapped the units) into one unit at a time and followed with both cav units in same formation, instant rout, then on to next unit, I lost a few eles due to pila but my eles didnt run amok once.
    the trick is to move your eles from one unit to next as soon as they stop moving, even if the hastati haven't routed yet, in other words it takes a bit of micro management but it pays in the end
