In the game's words
How to use it
The Gascenya is a unique Ethiopian heavy infantry unit armed with a throwing javelin. It is available starting in the Commerce Age and is effective at range but especially strong against cavalry in a melee.
History
While Ethiopian armies gradually began to incorporate firearms after they came into contact with European powers and the Ottoman Empire, the vast majority of troops were armed with basic weapons such as spears and shields. Despite their technological disadvantage, these soldiers were numerous, hardy, and formidable on the battlefield.

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.
