Default Re: Good Pretender design for Marverni?

I know in multi my Marerni hordes (bolstered by some 80 indie archers) were very easily routed by a Pangaea with hordes of Warriors/Revelers, Maenads, and those trampling bull guys whom name escapes me at the moment. Minotaurs?

Chariots are much harder to mass than the Minotaurs but have better armor and defence, so i imagine they would work similarly. Perhaps not.

I've never built Chariots in multi as i've never had the opportunity. Previously, in Dom2, Chariots always sucked. In the Early Era, they are not, perhaps, quite so bad.
1) They had berserkers, you didn't.
2) By the time, the game has reached the "hordes" stage, you should've had blade wind.
3) If you're worried about tramplers, use eponi's. Script your archers to "fire archers" Your cav should be scripted to "target large monsters" to engage the minotaurs.
