My sligners, especially the Rhodian ones, get about one experience every relatively large battle while suffering no casualties. It is quite common for me to win battles with less than 5 casualties due to the slingers and pikes I employ. Unless I am heavily outnumbered and outclassed, I will not suffer more than 30 casualties per battle. I am very careful and cautious in all the wargames I play. Unlike in RL, that actually pays off.
By now, my slingers have two-three silver chevrons and fought only about less than fifteen battles of varying size. My generals all have at least two silver chevrons, but going beyond that is quite difficult.
