Civilization V: Who/What Am I?

[Cerilis]

Indirect Fire?

Ding! That's it. But I think Enrico Swagolo should get a cookie for his explanation.
Although the symbol appeared more like a leaf to me, when I checked it after posting the first clue. So far to my little mistake there...
And of course you can get the promotion before industrial age, when you get a ranged unit with precision or barrage 3.
