In the game's words
How to use it
Crossbowmen are a ranged infantry unit. Cheap to produce and available early, their range starts out very poor, but increases dramatically with their first upgrade. They cannot be upgraded beyond Veteran level. Crossbowmen are best fielded against slow, non-ranged units, so that they have time to fire a deadly barrage of crossbow bolts before they are forced to flee or fight hand-to-hand.
History
Handheld crossbows began to appear in the tenth and eleventh centuries. Crossbowmen were attractive to military leaders because they took much less time to train than archers using bows. Firearms eclipsed Crossbows by the end of the sixteenth century. Europeans, chiefly the Spanish, included crossbows amongst the muskets and cannon they brought to the New World. Cortes arrived with more than two dozen crossbows and less than ten muskets. Columbus' crew had crossbows when they landed in the West Indies. When the original stockpile of munitions ran out it was difficult or impossible to make or trade for more. Explorers had to be very careful with their limited supply.
