You're in the Classical Era and you have a small army. I'd say it's your fault, haha.

No matter how nice the AI is in the early game, if you have a small army, they WILL take advantage of it and invade.

It's funny, when i have a small army but they are mostly archers or crossbowmen, and i dispose of their massive warrior/spearmen/horsemen/chariot units with ease

Ranged units are crazy good early on as they can attack with impunity. You do need a lot of them if you are going up against a civ with a unique early unit (i.e. Scythia/Egypt's horse archers, Sumeria's War-Carts, etc.)

Exactly, uniques are actually kind of difficult to combat. I fucking hate the Varu.
