There have been lots of talks in the forum about the return of the killer phalanx. Some people complained that their armor got killed when they attack a city guarded by a single pikeman. I have not encountered this kind of bizar outcome in my game. My Persian Immortals can kill units such as spearman and archer in my GOTM game with ease!
If you want to know the probability of a unit winning a combat under different circumstances, you can check out the Combat Calculators in this thread. The calculators are created by Valant2, Xerxes314, and FortyJ. Valant2 formulated the formula to calculate combat odds, Xerxes314 incorporated the formula into his combat odd program, and FortyJ takes the program one step further by adding all the units to the program so all you need to do is select the attacker, defender and the appropriate modifiers (such as whether the defender is inside a city).
