consider adding a chariot upgrade for pharaohs in the heroic/mythic age. this would grant them improved speed, range and hp. in addition, an aura that generates favor based on the cost of enemy units killed nearby.

logic behind it would be increased ability to switch between empowering and fighting mythic units late game, as well as getting them back in action quicker after dying. it will also allow them to join in with chariot archer squads to give then anti-mythic firepower as well as chase down quick mythic units.

favor aura gives additional incentives to place the pharaoh on the frontlines instead of safely empowering with a hefty favor bonus if you can keep them alive and in range of enemy units. high risk high reward.

lastly and most importantly its gives us a chance to have new unit models and animations. give the pharaoh a sweet war bow with elements, projectiles and animations based on the faction chosen. Son of Osiris can get a lightning bow instead.

Yes, the Pharoah can afford a chariot I think.

I do like the idea of giving the Pharaos a Chariot but I do not like the idea of giving them an additional way to generate favour.
That kinda just feels like a copy of the Norse favour generation tbh.

Maybe the Chariot upgrade should be from one of the Minor gods, so it’s not always available and also mutually exclusive to the bonuses from Osiris.
