| Pythium's Late-Age army is based on the organization of the Late Roman & Early Byzantine "legions", with cheaper Limitanei drawn from the "frontier" provinces and elite Comitatenses/Palatini deployed from the forts. Most of your men are pretty-well-equipped for the Late Age; unfortunately, good equipment goes with high {{:misc:gui:resources.png?15&nolink}}Resource costs, and the cheaper guys are both sub-par at fighting and limited in movement range.
