Warrior, actually. But yes. Militia required gunpowder.

Civ1 Militia == Civ2 Warrior

Warriors should never be able to defeat a battleship in Civ2 because of the new combat system. The AI cheats (of course); I have had armor go down to knights on deity level

This is not correct; the weakest unit in Civilization is the militia, and the unit you get from gunpowder is the musketeer. There is no unit called "warrior".

How do I know we're talking about Civilization?

> Because of this Civ2 added health and firepower stats to units

I think it's unlikely Civ II added stats in response to feedback from Civ III.

You're right about musketeers. https://civilization.fandom.com/wiki/Musketeers_(Civ2)

I was thinking of Partisans which spawn when a city is captured, https://civilization.fandom.com/wiki/Partisans_(Civ2); I think of militia when I think of Partisans.

However, the weakest unit in Civ 2 is definitely the Warrior: https://civilization.fandom.com/wiki/Warriors_(Civ2)

And the weakest unit in Civilization is the Militia. As I just said, there is no Warrior.

In the same way that Civ II cannot have made changes in response to Civ III, it also can't have made changes in response to itself.
