Proposal for slingers

[Titus Marcellus Scato]

Combining slinger direct fire and indirect fire in the same unit may not be possible in EB, due to units only having 2 attack modes, missile fire and melee - and not 3 attack modes, which is what we'd need to have 2 different types of missile fire.

How about having 2 different types of slinger? Direct fire slingers and indirect fire slingers.

Direct fire slingers have higher-speed missiles that do more damage (higher attack) and are AP (armour piercing). These are highly trained units like Rhodian slingers.
Indirect fire slingers have lower-speed missiles that do less damage (lower attack) and are NOT armour piercing - but they have a considerably longer range than the direct fire units. These are poorly trained units like Accensi.

well, thats basically what crossbows do in m2tw. If their is something in the way they point the crossbows almost strait up and fire in a huge arc. unrealistic for crossbows, but maybe this could be used for slingers as they normally shoots directly like crossbows. it is absurdly inaccurate when they fire up though, although that may be desired for the slingers.
