  1. I have spawned these archers in a few games, my opinion:

    1. The poison should add up for each hit. i.e. with each hit the amount of poison delivered increases, OR
    2. The unit should have an option to hit a unit once and move on to the next unit. i.e. instead of focusing on one unit for 10s, poison 10 unpoisoned units over 10 sec and return to first for the next dose....

      1. At this point, Mauryans have 2 houses and romans have only 1.
      2. At pop 40, Maur has 4 women trained from houses while romans have only 2
      3. i.e. civ's with small houses can produce twice as many women as civ's with large houses for the same pop...
