hi Conan, i exort you to look at this thread:Originally Posted by Conan

there are the real stats of the units, not the stats shown in the RTW GUI stat Tab.
Also regarding Slingers, they are Elite Units in EB, Try to use 3/4 of them and you will see even how that 1 (and i say 1) attack of roman Accensi can be deadly.... if you look at that thread you can understand how some units have other strong points of that shown in the in game Gui, the Phalangitai have +2 charge bonus as secondary weapon, and other units, have an hidden AP bonus not shown in the GUI.
EB Battles are great, and if you "know" the units you are managing, you can perform some very nice tactical manoeuvres.
For Example the Babylonian Spearmen have an AP for the club they carry as secondary weapon, so if they are not defending a position in guard mode, you can switch on "club mode" (pressing ALT + Right Button) and changing them in an awesome assault unit!
Same for cavalry, when in melee, switch on secondary weapon, you will see how they become effective against skirmichers and even heavy infantry some times...
salut!
