Warrior

History
The earliest military forces were simply the citizens of the city, armed with whatever implements they could find to use as weapons. Even though these militias made up of warriors were inexpensive, they were no match for an organized army. Warriors were used as a stopgap measure while waiting for better trained and equipped units to be trained or to defend a city that had been cut off from military support. In a crisis these warriors are better then no defence at all.

Uses
Warriors are generally used as fodder, although in large numbers they can transport a decent amount of resources. With level 10 Logistics research, 1 warrior can carry 200 resource, so a full wave of warriors (100k) can carry 200,000 resources. This shows that warriors are not the best unit for transportation, as workers and transporters have a lot higher capacity. However, warriors are very good as spam units, as they are cheap and do not take a lot of time to produce. Warriors are often used as fodder, or extra layers around ranged troops like archers, in order to give the archers more rounds to shoot at the enemy. See Rainbow for more information.
