Many have already known this before me but slingers tear up arcers. I new they did for a long time but i never really bother to see how badly. I pit 5 Hittite HHA against the same number of slingers in resorces and only lost a single slinger. I put 5 bland dumboarchers against 9 slingers and the slingers won by only loosing two men on the first attempt and 1 on the second. I could go on and on. The only archers that don't have much problem with them are the
minoan compies. The just shoot and back up. I also like them because you can start to stockpile them from tool. Logistics doesn't hurt either. I was playing a 3v3, i was
roman, allys were hit and sum while all three opponants were
minoan. One attacked me with about 20 compies in bronze (
big surprise) and it only took around 14 slingers to emerge
victorious. Slingers die to everything else real fast
but now i hardly need to worry about archers in bronze when
i can't m ake any myself.
