This unit is ridic, even moreso when combined with Babylon's UA.
Here is classic bowmen spam on a North vs South team game w/ random strangers:
Simple plan: Writing ASAP to get free academy, iron and archery are all that is needed.
Strict liberty, build a few cities/settle on lux then pump out bowmen. I put a barracks in capital to get siege promotion quicker.
Went after city states first as I could get XP and grow without losing units.
Turn 51: 12 bowmen (some with siege promotion from barbs/CS) 2 swords
Turn 56: 18 bowmen!!! and 2 swords
A ranged unit that attacks with an 8 and DEFENDS with an 8 and takes as long to build as a warrior! They survive sword/horsemen hits and are so cheap the opponent simply gets overwhelmed.
