In the game's words
How to use it
The Aztec Otontin Slinger is an infantry unit with a good attack and decent range. The Otontin Slinger is best used for ranged attacks and is most effective against heavy infantry such as Musketeers and Pikemen. Wearing simple cotton armor and armed with slings and shields, the Otontin Slinger is the Aztec's cheapest and weakest unit. Available upgrades are Elite and Champion.
History
In Aztec society, membership in the calpulli established each individual's religious and secular schooling, as well as how they would be trained in warfare. The men of a calpulli served together in battle and on the numerous public works projects. Their soldiers wielded weapons of wood and stone, and they often sought prisoners to be sacrificed in religious ceremonies. The macehualtin, who comprised the majority of the Aztec population, labored as farmers, tradesmen, and merchants. During times of war and conquest, they took up arms as needed.

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.
