The combat system of 1:1 makes sure that nobody or no city is ever 'invincible'. Anyone could be brought down.
The 1:1 ratio feels unfair when you are fighting against NPCs. You'd feel that is the fair thing if you are fighting a foe bigger than you.

Eh, combat system is something that will be refined and improved over time probably since this game, unlike the previous best in the genre, evony, actually has devs at the wheel instead of chinese gold farmers, and for sure it's far better already than evonys permanent situation of being absolutely useless to do anything other than 6-700k armies of archers

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you mainly objecting to the numeric attributes given to the various units? Is your problem that it doesn't reflect "reality"? Or is there a flaw in the system that creates an imbalance?

I always though that having no advanatage for size was rather silly, especilly consdering that archers would cut down the opposition long before the spearmen reached them, unless they're using their bows as clubs as an honourable orc knows you should.

That just seems so weird. Every other wargame I've played, having superior numbers leads to less losses. Which frankly makes sense: 10 guys taking on 20 will do more damage before they fall than 10 guys against 2000....
This also means that the % bonuses and the like are the only thing that really matters, aside from raw ability to throw more fodder at the problem. Which basically nukes most strategic aspects of the game. I mean, I realize there is the scissors/paper/rock element, and the siege tactics, but as is, no matter how well one plans their strategy, attacking someone is ruinous for both sides.
Hmmm. So on that note...
How about a nice game of
Chess?
