Gameplay
Arci are best used against infantry units, especially in groups. With the longest range of any archer unit (with the exception of Hades' Gastraphetoros) they can pick off infantry units further away than other ranged units, making it even more difficult for them to close the gap. However they are fragile and can quickly be killed by units that can quickly get close to them, such as cavalry.

Mythology
"All Atlantean citizens were practiced in the use of at least one weapon. Those who showed skill with ranged weapons - slings, bows, javelins - were called into the ranks of the Arcus. The Atlantean Arci were the first effective military use of ranged foot soldiers. Slings eventually fell into disuse and javelins became more feasibly wielded from horseback. the focused and deadly Arcus that emerged over time was a master of the bow and any number of Arci fielded in battle gave their opposition great pause."
