In the game's words
How to use it
The Bandido is an outlaw unit that can be trained at the Saloon and is available to the Mexicans starting in the Commerce Age. Like Renegados, Bandidos are ranged infantry that are costly but effective against a variety of unit types. Bandidos have a special ability, Dynamite Demolition, which they will automatically use to throw a stick of dynamite at their enemies.
History
The Wild West of the United States has captured imaginations for generations, but a similar phenomenon occurred in modern-day Mexico at the time. As the growing nation expanded its territory and settled more remote land during the 19th century, entrepreneurs, pastoralists, and criminals also made their way into the worlds of business prospecting, cattle ranching, and the nefarious activities that regions with a minimal presence of law enforcement agents permitted. Burgeoning towns sprung up by water supplies, trade routes, arable land, and gold deposits. In this lawless world, gangs and vigilantes ruled the roost. Their memory and exploits live on in local folklore as well as in the modern genre of “Western” films, capitalizing on the allure of an open, irregular climate far from the normalcy of more “civilized” urban life.

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.
