** -17 Ranged Strength against defenses and naval units.
== Strategy ==
The Crossbowman is much better armed than the Archer and a really solid unit overall. Its 30 Combat Strength enables it to stand its ground against Swordsmen, obliterate incoming Warriors and take only minor damage from Archers and Ancient Era city defenses. On the offensive side, 40 Ranged Strength provided by armor-punching crossbow bolts, combined with the of 2 lets you wreak havoc on your enemies with impunity all the way until the Industrial Era!
For players planning to wage an early war, the tech requirement for Crossbowmen can be beelined easily, as many of them have s that can be effortlessly triggered. This is especially dangerous in multiplayer games, when a few Crossbowmen often lead to the utter destruction of unsuspecting players. A single Crossbowman is also devastating as a garrison, practically doubling the already powerful ranged attack of a city; get it the Garrison for a terrific +10 Ranged Strength which will allow it to one-shot unpromoted Catapults!
