For I have noticed another thread about the baeleric slingers that they have lesser ammo and other things which make them rather overrated in the game while one would rather field a cheaper slingers as an alternate option.

That's right Fred, each faction has its pros and cons.

@VikingPower: Slingers going from 1 to 3 attack have increased attack by 300 percent. Archers going from 4 to 5 have increased only 25 percent. That's a force multiplication difference factor of 300/25 = 12. That's 12 times the difference in effect of 2 chevrons for a slinger and an archer. This is why all get 1 chev.
