Reducing their attack might cancel out this lowering of the light/medium cavalry shield value. You will need to figure out how to make the slingers less powerful if these people are correct in what they say, but still make them stronger against light/medium cavalry. You might need to look at accuracy since lowering attack won't do anything but worsen the problem.

And Storm stop being a griefer. Phalangites aren't supposed to have bonus against cavalry because that bonus is not applied solely from the front and with the sarissa alone.
Slingers aren't supposed to deter medium cavalry. Medium cavalry should run over slingers and then turn to do something else.

Lowering shield values would run counter to my entire objective of strengthening lighter infantry and cavalry, which has been very successful. How would you propose to balance the two? Reduce the shield boost for only heavier troops?
