Ranged Infantry

What does this unit counters ?

All units if used properly.

Counters to this unit type

The main units that counters ranged is cavalry, and fast melee units (Miltiades spears, barbarians). They can catch you and charge you, dealing a lot of damage to your unit.

Finally, due to their armour, ranged infantry is vulnerable to missile fire, so to other ranged infantry. For example, slingers counter archers pretty well, and javelins counters all the other ranged infantry if they can get close enough.

Those tips can be used when playing every ranged infantry type listed below, but their effectiveness varies according to the type of ranged infantry/faction being used
