In the game's words

How to use it

The Missionary is a unique Spanish cavalry unit that heals other units. He has a poor attack, but may heal other units at a short range. The Spanish Missionary is the only mounted healer in the game. Only the Spanish can send Missionaries from the Home City or train them from the Church after reaching the Commerce Age. Units do not regenerate their health on their own, so Missionaries can prolong the life of your armies significantly.

History

Spanish priests and monks established missions all over the New World. The selection of a site wasn't based simply on divine inspiriaton; it was a complicated process involving weeks, months, and even years of navigating bureaucracies and scouting out sites with sufficient water and good defensive qualities. It was very important that missions, forts, and towns had access to good water, because once established, they were largely on their own to look after their needs. Missionaries, like the Italian Jesuit Eusebio Kino, oversaw the establishment of several missions. Father Kino, who explored and traveled with the Spanish, established dozens of missions including the missions at Nuestra Senora de los Dolores, San Xavier del Bac, Guevavi, and Tumacacori. He was known for a policy of kindness towards Native Americans, and often established peaceful relationships with groups of Native Americans near his missions.

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.
