You're wrong.

Well-microed Crossbowmen can easily beat Arambai in castle age (the reason Arambai are so hard to deal with is because they are backed up with Mangonels which deal with the xbows easily), mainly because they outrange them by 2. In a fight with no micro, Arambai can win, but massed xbows will destroy Arambai in fights with focus fire.

Well-microed Arbalests also DESTROY Elite Arambai in imp. They outrange them by 3 with Bracer.

The reason the arambai line is OP is not because the unit itself is uncounterable, but that the unit backed up with the mangonel line is uncounterable. No cavalry can get close enough to kill the mangonels, because the arambai's darts destroy the cavalry before they get there.
