Light Chariot

Despite their having died out elsewhere across the world, Light Chariots are still in use by a few cultures, most notably:
 * Sabaeans
 * Kush
 * Egyptians

They are not as tough as the Arab Qeshate haGamla, nor are they as fast as what the Greeks and Persians can raise, but they can be trained from the Senate when it is finished. The main benefit of being able to build these units is that they can be useful especially inn the early game, when your other ranged units just aren't ready.

Vis-a-vis other units:


 * Camel Archers : Light Chariots have a higher rate of fire and are slightly faster.
 * Machimoi Hippakontistai : Light Chariots come into play an age earlier.

While the Aigyptoi and Sabaioi do get better ranged cavalry units over time, Light Chariots are the only units that the Aethiopes can ever have. So as a result they are often at a disadvantage even if they are fighting Greek factions who are known for their atrocious cavalry.

Other factions with better chariots include:
 * Scythe Chariots: the heaviest chariot, used by the Persians.
 * Medium Chariots: heavier and more powerful than Light Chariot, but not as heavy as Scythe Chariot. Used by Takashila and Magadha.
