Elite Throwing Axeman
The upgraded Frankish unique unit. More HP, attack, range and melee armor make it a formidable ranged infantry.
Tactical Briefing
You gain +1 range for 4 total, +1 attack for 8, and crucially +1 melee armor. The extra range lets you outrange most infantry and trade better. With 70 HP and 1/0 armor, you're still fragile but significantly more survivable. The upgrade costs 1000F/850G - worth it for the range increase alone.

Strategic Analysis
The Elite Throwing Axeman becomes a **true ranged infantry powerhouse** with improved range and survivability.
- 4 Range Power: Outranges Skirmishers (3). Can kite melee infantry effectively.
- Melee Armor: 1 melee armor means infantry deal less damage. Helps in brawls.
- Archer Destroyer: 8 melee damage shreds archers. They can't pierce-armor their way to safety.
Warning: **Still 0 pierce armor**. Archers can still hurt you - just close the gap fast and let your melee damage do the work.
