I have the same issue. In my case I was plating Egyptian, using Markabata, chose Maya and found totally dissapointed when “upgrading” to the Noble Javalineers. Just 2 CS difference , loosing mobility AND Reduced range to 2 is the worst way to throw units and resources to trash. 

Before the patch these 2 units were advertised correctly as range 2.

Warrior maintenance is listed as 1. Actual is 2. And patch notes I think said 0.

For Maya special unit Noble Javelineers, the description for range is 3 everywhere (culture, tech tree, city construction) :

But once in combat, it says range 2, and it is indeed 2 when you try to attack.

I have a very similar bug affecting the javelin throwers of the Olmecs (Ancient Era).

Version: PC/Steam, v1.0.03

Description:

In the tech tree the 'Javelin Thrower' unit of the Olmecs (Ancient Era) is displayed as follows:

Here it is stated that the unit has three range.

After producing the unit it turns out that the unit actually has two range.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start a new game
2. Reach the ancient era and select the Olmecs
3. Research the 'carpentry' technology
4. Produce the javelin thrower unit

Expected Behavior:

To me it's unclear which range the unit should actually have.

Either display 2 range for the unit in the tech tree or change the unit's range from 2 to 3, depending on the desired range for the unit.

Saves:

javelin-thrower-2.ctr

Hello,

The reason for the javelin thrower's range being shown incorrectly is because of the way it is coded in the the game. All ranged units have a base range of 3 and javelin throwers use the same base model, however at some point the devs decided that they should have a reduced range (which makes sense). However instead if making a new base model, they just applied a -1 Range penalty on those units, but this bonus is only applied after the unit is build and not before. It is similar to CS, if you are getting +1 from Hittites Lust for War this bonus will not apply on the UI before building, but only after.

Hope this helps and have a great day!

Indeed, UI bug, the stats on the produced units are right, but outdated in the culture selection UI.
