I was never totally against the whole spearmen occasinoally taking out a tank thing. It's makes sense and compensates for the fact that civilizations are not technology isolated in real life.

Even the most backwards civlization on Earth can buy an RPG or an AK-47 on the black market and have a remote chance of taking down an advanced weapon.

My bigger issue with the game was how useless they made air units and missiles.
