Concerning the Upgrade to Iron Units
Okay, I'll start off with this: Mostly, the attack margin between primitive units and iron units isn't very large, numerically speaking. E.g. Militia, Scouts, and Axefighters all have 35% attack, whereas Swordfighters and Knights have 55% attack. Lance carriers have 25% attack and Pikemen have 35% attack.
However, this ends when you reach bowmen and crossbowmen. Bowmen have 35% attack, but crossbowmen have 100% attack! The margin of difference is huge! Much more than twice that of the difference between axes and swords. I was wondering if this really makes sense. It would be a good explanation as to why crossbowmen are favored so much.
So what do you people think of this?
