Archer chariots will actually fire rear if you've got them on "Hold & Attack Rear". This can be useful, normally you can't fire rear.

With Oreiads you can improve their seduction by gaining a spell such as "Charm". People often overlook the seduction spells because they are hard to use on the battlefield. But when an Oreiad misses seduction a charm can often give them the commander anyway (though only for a short while since he isnt delivered but immediately attacks his province instead). And especially if the seducer chose a female to try and seduce. You will still get the "assassin" effect if both seduce and charm fail but I feel this is worth slipping in between the two...

But seduction checks Morale & MR, and if the unit passed the seduce check because of high MR, he's likely to resist Charm. I think you're better off just letting off a thunderstrike, unless you know your seduction targets are shock resistant. If you got to keep Charmed units from assassination battles, then it might be more worth attempting.
