Impossible paratrooper

[Plotinus]

They must be using those pyramid-shaped parachutes that Leonardo da Vinci designed.

I’ve never seen AI paratroopers or helo drops. I have seen a good number marines – wandering around on land - but never in actual amphibious assualt mode.

Mind you, this is somewhere in the middle ages and when I'm ahead in tech. So there is no way anyone could already have the tech to build paratroopers.
Can anyone explain to me what's going on?

Oh that unit. Sure. It’s the Medieval Paratrooper available at Chivalry. The unit doesn’t so much drop from a plane as be shot over walls from a catapult.

You don't want to either. I have had marines show up in a few games and they are more effective than one would expect from the numbers.

I've had games where I've had a city on an island and thought, "Well, I'll leave that Rifleman there and put a couple of others on the rest of the island so that no-one can land," and forgotten entirely about the existence of Marines until I'm forcibly reminded by the sudden appearance of a distressingly well organised posse of them coming out of nowhere and taking the city with ease. They *will* do it if necessary.

I found the problem: the statue of Zeus was producing paratroopers!

I don't know how this could happen I never touched it.
