Mercenary Changes Have Been Good

[desdichado]

I kind of like the idea of having a hoplite merc unit but I think I'm just being sentimental. Good in a city fight though - when they get there.

There is a thread discussing slingers in the Colosseum and iirc their range was actually quite good and quite deadly. Also projectile had a flatter trajectory although I could quite easily be making that up and can't even remember now why that might be a good thing. If I find the thread i'll let you know.

they didn't use rocks, they used lead balls btw.

ah yes, speed of the shot was higher hence the flatter trajectory hence more killing power than an arrow over a given range. Sounds good anyway!
