Bloodlines was introduced, along with Thumb Ring, to buff cavalry and archers, respectively, and indirectly weaken the Militia line. This was done because the standard infantry rush was the most effective and used strategy back in the days of AoK. To effectively engage such a rush, the technology would have probably been too late in the Castle Age, and not fulfill its purpose if it was much more expensive. We can argue if this is contemporary, however.
