Range and vision for Haudenosaunee infantry

Lacrosse is a Commerce Age Haudenosaunee War Hut technology. It costs 600 Wood and 600 Coin and takes 10 seconds. It increases line of sight and ranged attack range by two for Tomahawks, Aenna and Forest Prowlers. It affects these infantry units, not the whole army.

Improve a ranged engagement

The extra range can help the named units see and attack from farther away, but does not increase damage or hit points. Research when the composition relies on them and the army can use the extra reach without leaving support behind. The high combined cost competes with unit production, so weigh it against adding another batch of troops.
