I dunno, too many suggestions here seem to repaint it to function as a conq. While I think food cost does bring it to be a bit more similar, functionally it's still a different unit but bringing economy management to be similar.
I don't think messing with the accuracy/damage is in the spirit. The unique functionality of the arambai is that it relies on missed projectiles to do half damage to adjacent units.
