In the game's words

How to use it

The Azap is a unique Ottoman heavy infantry unit with a ranged attack and replaces the Pikeman. It is available at the Barracks starting in the Commerce Age costing only food and wood. Like Pikemen, Azaps counter all cavalry in melee combat with their Ottoman halberd. Azaps are not as fast as Pikemen and do not inflict as much siege damage, but their bows allow them to counter Light Cavalry at range.

History

The Azaps were lightly armored foot soldiers primarily fighting with a variety of archaic hand and ranged weapons such as halberds, maces, sabers and bows. The word “azap” literally means “bachelor”, describing an unmarried man. Initially recruited from young men belonging to the lower classes of Ottoman society, Azaps were numerous and often trusted with guard and naval service or logistical support. In the Ottoman line of battle the Azaps were positioned in front of the Janissaries and artillery to repel or bind advancing enemy forces. Once the first line of enemy combatants was weakened the Azaps would withdraw and enable the rested Janissaries and artillery to counterattack. Due to this pivotal role in Ottoman battle tactics Azaps remained active and relevant in the era of gunpowder despite their archaic weaponry.

How this is worked out

Each hit: damage × every multiplier that matches the target's types × (1 − the target's resist to that damage). Two ranged units trade shots; against a melee-only unit the better of ranged and melee is used. Damage per second = hit ÷ seconds between attacks.

Armies bought with the same resources fight by Lanchester's square law: strength = (resources ÷ unit cost)² × damage per second × hit points. The edge is the square root of the strength ratio. All matchups.
