In the game's words
How to use it
The Jungle Bowman is a unique Inca archer that can be trained at the War Hut and the Stronghold starting in the Commerce Age. Jungle Bowmen are strong against infantry and are the only unit in the game to deal additional poison damage, which continues to affect enemy units shortly after they are struck by a Jungle Bowman’s arrow. This makes Jungle Bowmen particularly deadly against units attempting to flee a fight.
History
The standing army of the Inca was formed primarily by nobles, but the Sapa Inca could raise an army of able-bodied men from the general populace at will. Military discipline was strictly enforced when the troops were on the march and the army, although variously specialized, was extremely well trained. Drawing on the resources of a vast empire, the Inca recruited warriors from numerous subordinate tribes with their own military traditions. The Ashaninka, known to the Inca as Anti, were particularly skilled archers from the rainforests of modern-day Peru. Their bowmen were adept both in stealth and in the field, firing poison-tipped shafts that made a grim end of their enemies. As battles in the Andean region tended to open with a hail of projectile weaponry before the forces closed in melee combat, Ashaninka bowmen were a valued support force.

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.
