In Civilization VII, players start with limited military infantry units and can unlock ranged units by progressing through research. Generally, it takes about 70 turns to unlock the Slinger, the first primitive ranged unit, which allows attacks from one or two tiles away. This technology is accessed by first researching prior technologies and can significantly impact combat strategies due to the extended attack range, enhancing tactical options while sacrificing some defense. Understanding these elements can lead to a more effective military approach in the gameplay.
After your first taste of combat, you might wonder how to unlock ranged units that other leaders have deployed against you.
Ranged units are first unlocked by researching Animal Husbandry technology. You gain access to this technology after researching a few others.
The Animal Husbandry technology unlocks the Slinger unit. This is a primitive ranged unit that uses makeshift slingshots to deal damage.
Playing on the standard game length, this should be roughly 35% through the Antiquity Age.
