Suppression: Promotion for Archers

[glaciermi]

Can someone tell me what suppression actually does? I'm just not understanding the Help definition. Thanks so much!

That should be the promotion that gives ranged units zone of control? It's an ability that all melee and anti-cavalry units have but ranged units like archers need this promotion to get. Basically if any enemy unit moves adjacent to the unit with the ability, it must either attack or skip its turn and can't move further. Exceptions to the rule are cavalry units. You can check the civ wiki or search the forum for ZOC for more info

Pretty bad promotion in most cases. Dont think there is any situation where I felt like this was the best choice. Also ranged units fall off after the medieval era, which is around the time when you would have easy access to this.
