Ox Carts - what are they for?

[The Prancing Prawn]

So the Ox Carts, a level 5 heavy chariot unit - cycle charge your enemy to cause disruption and so on. Thing is, the things are so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ slow, they usually can't get away from most infantry units. Neither can they just charge through the enemy line. Nor do they seem to ever do any substantial damage, even on a clean downhill rear charge. How do I make these things work? Would love to moo-w down those filthy egyptions with them.

I seee...I mean, weird but I'm all for it. In theory at least. As it is, the carts are so slow to turn and speed up and take up so much space I reckon it's easier to just maneuver some normal infantry into a flanking position. If they made those carts faster and more agile I'd probably enjoy these! Thanks for the hint!
