At least that's how I have always interpreted it: ancient units in more modern eras just represent troops with poor-quality equipment. Like, for example, a bunch of farmers taking their varmint rifles and trying for a shot at the invaders. And plenty of examples of such things actually working in the recent history, too.
Exactly!
I interpret it as such:
1. Ok, You have tanks, so you probably have anti-tank weapons to, right?
2. You have commerse in your cities, right? So you probably have quite a lot trade and production lost to corruption?
3. Where does that corruption go? Well, some part of it probably goes to illegal arms and drug trade! The AI spearman simply had bought a few anti-tank missiles on the black market!
