In the game's words

How to use it

The State Militia replaces the Crossbowman and is unique to the United States. It is available starting in the Commerce Age and, like the Crossbowman, has relatively low range and attack. However, it has considerably more hit points and becomes stronger in larger groups.

History

State militias as an institution date back to before the American Revolution, when each region raised its own local militia to defend against enemy incursions and support the regular armed forces. While not as well trained, their irregular nature often lent itself well to warfare in urban areas and terrain with which they were more familiar than their adversaries. As the United States developed as a nation, volunteer militias connected to each individual state retained their role and were instrumental in both expansionist and defensive conflicts -- but somewhat less reliable in battle than well trained, regular armed forces.

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.
