Yes, I know missiles are used by attackers, but did slingers ever kill 70% of an equally sized enemy army in a siege?
no because the city normally gave up before it came to an assault. however, during the seige its yes, possibly all causalities to the defenders were due to missile attacks. again a seige and an assault are not the same thing.
If the enemies had done nothing but running up and down the fence within reach of the missles - that's what the AI always does - they certainly would.Quote:

People think the industrial revolution was important, but it was really the discovery that you shouldn't stand in front of the arrows that made a difference in world history.
