The unit's own values. In battle, your Arsenal equipment, your research, your god and your form of government can raise them.

Flank infantry in a bronze cuirass with a long blade and a large shield: the late-game answer to cavalry. It holds the flank and covers your own ranged line and engines behind it. Slow and costly; once the opposing flank is cleared it strikes the rear with less force than cavalry does, and the front line hardly at all.

The figures come from the game's own content. Balance updates can move some numbers; the rules themselves are as written here.
