Rome's troops are the finest in the world not only because we don't waste men as light infantry, but also because within each category of actual fighting men, we are superior. A single exception is Persia's excellent pikemen; but they are not numerous.
The final two columns are the average number of production and culture techs within the demesne, and again Rome stands out as having the most advanced economy and the most refined culture anywhere in the world.
I calculate the average over the demesne.
Indeed, the backwards Latin lands that now make up half my demesne seem woefully uneducated in the arts of war and culture, weighting me down noticeably in these comparisons. :/
Also; why would we want more heavy infantry? Arming the peasantry is far to dangerous and no noble worth his salt would fight on foot!
