Why archers require 2 pop instead of 1?
... target practice!
Why scouts eat so much but run so fast?
... archers use them for target practice and they really need to be able to run very fast

gotta take care of the horses and the armor and weapons.
squires and stable boys and whatnot support staff.
What about the knight's family. He's gotta bring home the bacon to a wife and a kid or two. and maybe some of the staff have a family member or two
so for each cavalry on the field there's 8 people back in town that make it possible
just trying to come up with a rationale. personally I think 9 is too high. but meh. I'm sure it's for game balance reasons
well I heard somewhere that a siege engine is a horse unit because it is marched to battle being hauled by horses. Though it should be much higher speed if this is tru. Like the speed of a transport ...since a transport with a full load should be a similar weight to the various siege engines per horse.
So I suppose if 2 horses carry the ballista to the battlefield then you have to have the support staff for them, and the men to reload the ballista. and trained personnel to aim it.
5 people doesn't seem unreasonable
6 for a cataphract is quite ridiculous.
personally I do not see why the units have different upkeep of food/per population unit.
I believe infantry/archers should be 2 or 3 food per population unit and cavalry/catas and siege engines should be 5 food per population unit since they have horses to feed too
