You're the one who has the problem understanding how high-tech units can be defeated by low-tech units over the course of a battle that Lasts an entire year or longer, not I.
Actually I think he understands it perfectly. It's a flaw in the game. A phalanx attacking a battleship should lose 100% of the time. Why can't you just admit the game has a few flaws that just don't happen to bother you?

Yeah... that part is even worse than musketmen defeating tanks. So what if the battleship is in harbor? What are pointy sticks going to do to it? Nothing. Those phalanx have pointy sticks and some primitive armor, nothing else. Otherwise, they would have been upgraded to different units.
