In the game's words
How to use it
The Fulani Archer is a unique Hausa ranged infantry unit that uses a bow for a rapid but short ranged attack. It is available starting in the Commerce Age and is effective against heavy infantry and light cavalry but weak against heavy cavalry. Fulani Archers can also gather meat from livestock.
History
The Fulani tradition of hunting with short bows was leveraged into a powerful military asset by Usman dan Fodio (1754-1817). Realizing that he could not match the Hausa cavalry man-to-man, Usman instead overcame them with shrewd skirmishing tactics involving well-placed foot archers.

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.
