Yes, SirOsis, thanks... you reminded me.
The early discussion on this thread was about upgrade strats. Let us remember two other GREAT things for Chariots to do:
1) Early exploration as non-EXP.
2) Pillaging. It took me a fair while to always remember that improvements NOT in AI civs' territory is fair game... and think about how devastating it is early in the game to destroy such, especially roads connecting resources. And you very much want a 2-move unit to get max effect. In other words:
"MWAHAHAHA!!! You silly 5-tile CP AI!! Your towns will never trade!!
"
