I made the topic in past about it, there are relevant info

POLL: Should Ranged Units switch to melee attack in close combat?

poll All range units in AoE3 have a melee attack , and this mechanic is already in AoE 4 - in the SP campaign, which is early version of AoE 4, for some “irrational” reason (I would be really interested, why), the developers cut it off from the final version. I want to ask AoE community here (or even developers), what do You think about it? I see this as step back, IMO the units in RTS should not work only with a theoretical rock-paper-scissors system, but also with the unit roles, in this cas…

You can try in the base game campaign, which use diffirent (old) stats, technologies etc

You can notice on the first picture, that crossbowmen has 26 ranged attack and 11 melee attack.

This - ranged units with weaker melee attack in close combat would help balance the game
