True. Ranged infantry and light infantry are not to be confounded.

Ranged infantry is the skirm / bow units type, efficient against heavy infantry and ranged cavalry.

Light infantry is kind of an equivalent of heavy cavalry. It moves fast, can only use melee, it is weak against heavy infantry (bonus for melee attack), and powerful against ranged infantry (most often a *0.75 multiplier for RI), and canons.

So in fact these 2 kinds of infantry are kind of opposite seeing their stats and the fact that light infantry counters RI.
