Units1 supported recipe route
WHY CONSIDER IT
A ranged unit gives cities and armies a way to contribute attacks without relying only on close combat.
When it fits: Build after Archery before Construction makes it obsolete.
The tradeoff: Its early role has a limited window before it becomes obsolete at Construction.
