In the game's words
How to use it
The Hospitaller is a unique Maltese heavy hand infantry unit that replaces the Halberdier. It is available at the Hospital starting in the Commerce Age and can be trained at the Hospital. Hospitallers have high hit points and attack values, and can deflect or absorb a portion of damage from attacks targeting adjacent allied units.
History
The Hospitallers were originally a knightly order founded in Jerusalem during the Crusades. They derived the byname from their association with the hospital of St. John in Jerusalem, and grew over time to become one of the most prominent Christian knightly orders. However, as their holdings in the Holy Land and eastern Mediterranean were gradually pried away, their power faded. However, they experienced a resurgence in 1530 when they were granted the island of Malta, which they held despite numerous invasions until 1798. Hospitaller soldiers were famed for their bravery, piety, and steadfast loyalty to the order which they served.

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.
