    Fact is swordsman train way faster than archers , you can support more swordsman than archers in 1 town , so the ratio you have given of 1000 vs 1000 is not evened out considering the time it takes to train each unit .
    And most battle won't have only a 1vs1 scenario , so what you posted has absolutely no relativity because the chance of something like that happening is low . You would have to be crazy to send archers alone to attack.
    The game is about combination .

    So what would you use to counter 1 swd, 1 pike, 1 archer, 1 calvary, 99,996 cataphracts?

    Well I would use my normal fortification setup of 1-2k abatis, rest AT's, with about 30k or so pikes. Should be enough for a win. Due to catas slower speed, you archers can also stay and fight. More abatis would be better, but most people don't use that many catas so I don't build more.
