The biggest advantage of the Scythe Chariot over the regular Chariot is that it can inflict Trample Damage, inflicting damage on units and buildings adjacent to the unit or building it is attacking. Thus they can be a nice alternative to a War Elephant, preventing enemy villagers from fleeing to a far location and restarting their town. As with its regular counterpart, the Scythe Chariot deals double attack towards Priests and is highly resistant towards enemy Conversion.
