I came up with 2 main questions:

1. Why build spearmen? Their only good value is cavalry defense but archer units have good defensive values in all areas, even cavalry def isn't much difference?
I noticed that the stats of spearman units in general are very low in stats (I guess because their costs is relatively low). So I wondered..


2. Some second tier units are less valuable/efficient compared to their costs? 
For example, longbowmen (second tier human ranged) do have about same value as archers (first tier human ranged) if you divide it by gold maintenance costs. And if you divide it by their raw construction costs the first-tier unit is even better!?



1) You are looking at the wrong units defence value. Look at all 4 troop types for attack and defence! It's interesting calculations... trust me!

2) You may want to recalculate that for upkeep to numbers... it make interesting reading... trust me! Be sure to adjust the figures for min and max market prices when calculating costs. Attack and defence are two completely different things! *cough* hint *cough*
Doesn't look good... doesn't look bad either!
