Then they get 3 more armor, and a bit higher mass. Their morale is boosted from 12 to 14, and finally they cost 22 mnai less in upkeep.

The hastati get 2 more armor, a serious increase in lethality (0.1 to 0.13) and some morale, in return for a modest increase in cost.
Not everyone is as smart as you. Think about it, to most people, Camilan principes get 3 higher attack, same morale, are better against cavalry, and cost less at a glance. His question is completely legitimate.

Sakkura is right. However, you might want to study the export_descr_unit file more before asking questions such, soibean, lest you wish to face the taunts of those who enjoy being cruel to newbies.
