+1give them trample damage
I think trample dmg is more appropriate than melle attack.
There is no real reason imo that persian eles get it and indians do not.
But as far as other posts, I dunno 'bout ''useless unit'', it is a cav archer w/ a ton of HP, eskirms/archers/...all archery units basically don't do jack, unless you get real close or use onies it is a constant support to whatever u got in front.
Imo it is a misconception that a cavarcher is gonna be a pusher, it cannot be and will not be.
It is a support unit. And India's got plenty of other units to push.
