Clearly the Garde qualifies and they just forgot it in that list of 9 units.
- Reduced upfront resource cost of remaining unique units from 20 to 10. Mamluk, Conquistador, Redcoat, Black Army, Huszar, Cossack, Mandekalu Cavalry, Legion, and Janissary.
It is not an easy answer as sloppily is rather non-specific.Does Firaxis code sloppily?
Sometimes they forget to adjust things, especially when they have to list things individually instead of adjusting a whole class at once.
For example, one of the wonder cards incorrectly boosted 2 wonders by +30% instead of +15% because it during a rewrite of the effect they forgot to take out the old references to those 2 wonders.
In a more practical example, they adjusted swordsmen a few times right after launch. The last change in that series was to change their strength from 35 to 36. However, the Roman Legion and the Kongolese Ngao Mbeba weren't changed, and so for 2 years the Ngao was at 35 strength. They added other UU swords like the macedonian Hypaspist, at 36. People had these long arguments about how it must have been intentional since the Ngao has a boost against ranged attacks, etc. But in the april patch for GS (or maybe it was GS launch?) they quietly changed the Ngao back to 36.
120% Oversight. Especially since the patch notes themselves say

lol, seems you already know how long a plan lasts.properly planning
I thought they went 36-35-36?Swordsmen went up to 40, then down to 36
And ain't that an easy job , the root cause of the problem most always lies between the chair and the keyboard... and nope, I am not a developer (per se) but I am the person called in when everything goes wrong and has to find the answer (despite many wanting to know the cause which often includes them)
I thought they went 36-35-36?
I must have been too busy overseas when they would have made them 40. I'm trying to imagine 44 str legions!!
It's not a school project! Where is the code review before pushing to production?I would say the more than likely forgot. There is also the possibility there was an issue when 2 or more people merged files and one of them didn't carry over the change. It happens. Ideally they would go through the list 2-3 times to make sure whatever mass change they are doing is properly applied to all the proper units.
it doesn't help that so many things are scattered in all sorts of different files/folders, and there isn't a consistent pattern to where stuff is always at. something i found out the hard way to change unit costs a while back.
