if they would have fought each other they would have given a very close fight .
And you'd probably have a more effective army if you ignored those summoned units and instead boosted your level 3 and 4 units with various magic spells.

you have missed the main point of spells in aow :
e.g. a chain lightning normally always hitted 5 enemies .
the purpose was not to kill the enemy totally but to weaken it that much that you can kill it with the first blow .
Which is, like I said, the problem with the battlefield spells in that game. They can't actually be used to kill troops, which renders spellcasting heroes rather useless.

with what patch ?
That wouldn't matter much, since the basic issues are ones dealing with the economic nature of the game. Take level 1 units for example, where the upkeep costs are ridiculously high.
