In the game's words
How to use it
The Insurgente replaces the Pikeman and is unique to the Mexicans. It is available starting in the Commerce Age and, like the Pikeman, is effective against cavalry, shock infantry, and buildings but weak against most other units. Insurgentes have lower hit points than Pikemen, but are faster and cheaper.
History
When the Cry of Dolores incited an insurrection in 1810, touching off the movement towards Mexican independence, many supporters were peasants and indigenous natives armed with little more than farm tools or other rudimentary weapons. These Insurgentes were no match for a disciplined military force, but their sheer numbers could be leveraged into unexpected victories.

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.
