Marines vs mountaineers

[jacco]

According to the unit modifiers Marines are only 10% better at shore attack and just as good (both -10%) in river attack when compared to mountaineers.
I think Marines should have a bigger advantage over mountaineers in these areas, now there is little point in building them.
Maybe I miss something or should this be corrected ?

Don't they get additional bonuses with the marine techs? I.e. the further you research the marine divisions, the better all marine divisions get, and not just the latests?

Yes, they do, you are right. Maybe it`s ok like this then.
I will see how the differences are with more advanced models and post again later.
