Dopplesoldner
In the game's words
How to use it
Doppelsoldners are a unique German infantry unit with high hitpoints and a sweeping attack that does area damage. Available in the Commerce Age, they are devastating in melee combat and tough enough to take on cavalry. Their attacks against buildings are also effective. They are expensive to produce and take more population slots than a Halberdier, but the damage they do is worth it!
History
Doppelsoldners were a group of specialized Landsknechts, whose role was to charge lines of pike and halberds. They were actually mercenaries that fought under Maximilian II. They were armed with halberds, arquebuses, and long two-handed swords (zweihanders). They stood in the front ranks and earned double the normal pay (and their name) from the privilege of breaking up ranks of pike. Dress in this era was flamboyant, and Doppelsoldners are depicted with striped leggings, puffy sleeves (for mobility), large or elaborately plumed hats, and richly slashed and decorated uniforms.

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.
