roman infantry are supposed to be the best in the game. Thus you see armenian and other legionaries with equal stats to legionary cohort, yet requiring a higher level barracks and 2 turns to produce.

if you compare urbans to legionary cohort, then it's not so clear that urbans are overpowered. The lower attack makes a big diffenrece, but infantry should not be your main killing force in any event.

Take a look at every other factions super unit, which Urban Cohorts beat (apart from maybe Elephants) and how much they cost. 890 bucks or whatever it is for Urban Cohorts is just too cheap, and I still think there should be restrictions on where they are built (like only the starting provinces). This would be more historically accurate too.
