Historical background
Heavy chariots with several fighters aboard were a weapon of the Bronze Age and early Iron Age, for example among the Assyrians and in China. By the game's period cavalry had replaced them almost everywhere; in India Porus still fought Alexander with chariots at the Hydaspes in 326 BC. On uneven ground they were cumbersome and vulnerable.
