Sorry history proved all chariots, even the scythed version, had too many drawbacks to be effective weapons. They had little shock value, they depended on even terrain, they were vulnerable to cavalry and missile fire (slings and arrows).
By the 7th centiury CE, the only nations still using them were the Hindu kingdoms in little, set piece wars of little import that involved small decisions,few casuallties, and small gains in territory usually returned in a subsequent war.
When the armies of Islam stormed across the desert of Sind in the 8th century (CE) they quickly showed how vulnerable were the chariot forces of the hindu armies.
Replace chariot with stirrup. Stirrups allow archery from horseback and enable the lance as a weapon.

Mystern – gotta love those four-day weekends, eh?
