In the game's words

How to use it

The Sentinel replaces the Musketeer and is unique to the Maltese. It is available starting in the Commerce Age and is adept on defense, gaining strength when positioned near buildings owned by the same player. It has better hit points and armor than standard Musketeers at the cost of two population slots as well as lower speed and range. When engaged by melee units, it will switch to a polearm.

History

Owing to their position on the frontier against a powerful adversary in the Ottoman Empire, the Knights of Malta were often forced to adopt primarily defensive tactics. Their troops were expert at defensive operations and well-equipped for such tasks – most notably, in 1565, a small Maltese defense force commanded by the Grand Master Jean Parisot de la Valette repelled a vastly numerically superior Ottoman force at the Siege of Malta. The early modern period saw the introduction of more advanced firearms into armies, but for centuries soldiers still retained the melee weapons of the prior era, which remained reliable and trusty when in a pinch.

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.
