It's a penalty (50% I believe) vs at least land units to make unpromoted artillery not the only thing you need to build for an army. As long as you have a great general and a promotion or two you'll be back in business doing good damage against land units (because the promotions are additive so you have 100% - 50% + 20% + 20% = 90% of normal strength with one promotion).

Archers/crossbows are the primary unit to weaken other units, while siege units are built to attack cities. This is why archers have a vs-city penalty, and siege a vs-unit penalty. If you build a mix of archers and siege you can handle any ranged battle. There's more details about this in the combat roles thread.

The G&K expansion will have late game ranged units.

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks. But in real life, artillery is the most important defense and offense.

Sometimes gameplay is more important than realism.
