Not exactly, they can still be useful in Industrial Age, since Skirmishers will also be on veteran level and, through still stronger and with a best range, they cost more them the crossbowman. So they can still fit the role of an cheaper skirmisher army until you can get your economy rolling and your skirmishers updated to guard level (at least).
