I normally use chariots like normal cavalry like use infantry to pin and cavalry to flank, but sometimes i find that its good to start the main engagement by rushing your chariots through their lines first to shake them up a bit and then engage with infantry, then when the chariots have finished getting through that infantry (dont right click the enemy you want to attack, click behind them) you can turn them round and charge them at the rear to deal another big blow to their morale.

what i tend to do is as carthage i charge elephents straight into the romans and once there pinned charge with calvary which usually routs them.

Wow, thats a lot of help. And while your all here, give me a good reason and a good strategy with palanxes because I think they are ruddy USELESS! They are slow, inflexible, tight (arrows) and if a cavalry unit does charge into the front (which the AI does a lot) The unit kills a lot of cavalry but then they all breakup. Then the infantry come! I find them useful vs. infantry in like streets but any where else I just use them like roman infantry.
