They increase your chance for a 1st strike (ie, a free shot at the unit that's attacked/being attacked). Note, drill 1 is +1 first strike chance, meaning to roll for a chance to get it. Drill 2 automatically gives you one more first strike (guareenteed I believe).

Drill I 1 extra first strike chance
Drill II 1 extra first strike
Drill III +2 first strike chances
Drill IV +2 first strikes, +10% vs. mounted units

I'm assuming that those aren't cummulative.

I believe they are. That's why drill 4 can be so devastating, but drill 2 pretty much stinks

The First strike promotions are really nice when they are stacked on top off CG3 promotions. This allows for several high powered free shots which pretty much devestate the entire opposing force. I have had Cg3 LB's with drill 3 and 4 and they never even get damaged as they kill the opposing chariot or axe before they even get to hit back.

I am really excited about the expansion trait that gives all archers and artillary drill 2 to start with. Can you say ouchie?
