I would like to ask if there a system where some units are stronger or weaker against others? |

Almost but not quiet there.It looks like EasyTech though about it but didnt actually implement it,it's too bad really because that game feature can add a lot of strategy/fun to a game.
What they sorta have right now:
+Strenght attack bonus from grenade troops (grenadiers and guards) against fortification/possibly ships too.
-strengh attack bonus from gun troops (militia,line and light inf,armored cars) agaisnt fortifications/possibly ships too.
+ Strength attack bonus from machine gun units against all other Infantry and cavalry units.

I actually don't like "rock-paper-scissor" ststems, they're really overused. I prefer more multiple, but binary mechanics such as the ones present in Napoleon although it is true that the units present weren't exactly very diverse or unique. I still used most of them though, with a few exceptions like Grenadiers.

Actually, I have found Grenadiers to be the worst infantry type in the game, because Guards. And when I don't use Guards, I use Lt. Infantry instead; there is literally no niche for Grenadiers to fill. The fact that it requires a Tier-4 city also makes it extremely awkward in terms of unit production because once again, Guards.
At least both Militia and Line Infantry have clear distinct features- Militia cheap cannon fodder that only costs gold, while Line Infantry is the most cost-effective when it comes to hp and you just want to stall. Grenadiers however are just stuck in the middle with no real redeeming features.

I rarely use Grenadier because of Elite Guard,as mentioned above. 2 stacks of Guards and 3 stacks of Grenadiers have about the same HP and cost, but Guards generally has higher attack. The only situation i find Grenadier useful is in campaigns where Guard is not available (I sold all the stars for medal). Light infantry can be good when assigned with a general. Its movement of 8 allows it to move only 2 hex as a normal unit but with 5 stars in movement general and +2 movement boots (which give a total 8 + 5 + 2 = 15) it can move 5 hex in 1 turn which is quite cool (esp. when you need to do things quickly in campaigns).
