In the game's words
How to use it
The Maigadi is a unique Hausa ranged infantry unit. It is available starting in the Commerce Age and is versatile but especially effective against mercenary units.
History
The Maigadi (bodyguards) were the personal guards of Hausa emirs. In an ever-shifting and often treacherous political climate, the ability to trust in those nearest to oneself was paramount. Maigadi not only safeguarded the welfare of the emir but also served as a private army of sorts.

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.
