Ah, you're looking at low-tech (TL 0-5); all TL 6+ units scale with TL. I believe the assumption is that higher TL results in different types of troops. It also results in generally higher wealth, allowing better quality troops.

Realistically, melee weapons didn't change all that much over TL 2-4, but armor tech improved significantly, so there should be a bump. The TS seems remarkably flat, though -- the only difference between TL 2 bowmen and TL 4 musketeers are that the musketeers are 25% cheaper.
