Chariots

[BigChef]

I tried the Belgae a little bit and already lost 3 out of 4 family members in the first battle.

The chariots died like flies against normal infantry no spears. I thought the team had already overworked them? Did i do something wrong? Some special tactics with the chariots?

I have tried one battle as the Belgae, and that was on Medium, i found them to be very ineffective, needing alot of room, slow and died quickly to light sword inf.
So if there is a special way to use them, I would like to know. Personally I think I could do much more damage with a generals cav escort. And what a pain in the bottom they are to get out of a Fort.

I had the same problem, three family members including my succesor have died fighting the Brythonic tribes. Ive learnt to use them as missle units now, use them to drawy away heavy cavalry and have another missle cavalry attack the heavy cavalry from behind.

I found that they tend to fight better in melee once they are out of ammo, which forces them to use their secondary weapons. Otherwise, they'll just keep using their missile weapons even in melee distance or when you ALT+ right click on an enemy. Very annoying.
