High tier spearmen losing to skirmishers and starting unit tribesmen in melee combat, same with high tier swordsman. Might get 15-20 kills before routing. I'm playing as Byzantium, and infantry just does absolutely nothing while it seems like enemy bottom barrel infantry just slaughters through high tier units like their nothing, and take next to no casualties somehow in the process. Is infantry just useless in a straight up one to one fight? It certainly seems like a waste of money to get anything but bottom tier slop that sits there and dies. Its the same thing high tier infantry does.
