Are we getting in ''Gods'' a modern ranged antiunit ?

[Baron2]

I read that the damage of siege weapons against unit will be reduced in Gods.

Fair enough, but are we getting dedicated ranged units killers after the medieval era ?

yeah, in Gods and Kings, crossbowmen will be upgraded into some other ranged unit. There will be a whole class of ranged units now. Check out the Gods and Kings forum.

There's now also new unit between Archers and Crossbowmen (Composite Archer?)

 

[notadummy]

It's gonna be called Composite Bowman, or at least that's what I think

Archers -> Composite Bowman -> Crossbowmen -> Gatling Gunner -> Machine Gunner

Might have messed up on the names. Gatling Gunner seems to be a Renaissance unit (and was used in the America Civil War) and the Machine Gunner belongs to the Industrial Era and was used activly in the first world war.
Don't know if there is another unit that comes after the Machine Gunner as a modern ranged unit.
