It's called the exponential mod, because that's what it does to the units' strengths. Which isn't to say that it doesn't do anything else. It does. It has actually grown into something geared more toward more historical accuracy than merely a unit upgrade. But the main concern seemed to be spearmen defeating tanks, hence the exponential scale. Now units that are several eras
apart are MUCH more different in combat. (It's still possible to win with obsolete units, but it will take hordes, not one on one.)
