test condottieros vs champions in many situations vs non-gunpowder units and you'll find out the condottiero is not as cost efficient as the militia line FU unit. Perhaps it does a fine job vs archers but the increased cost just doesn't cut it. Make maybe a hundred of them and all your savings made because you didn't upgrade to champion have been wasted.
