Sweboz, is that on my second turn I am like in debt of -4000+. On my third, -8000+.

Also to bring up abt those phalanx-type units. Why can they kill calvary when u charge your calvary from behind. Their long spears are like pointing the other way and yet my horsies go down like paper.
To counter phalanx slinger are very effective if you hit them behind. When you aim behind unit they can not use their defence skill and shield armor values. Use your horseman to draw their attention and aim their back with your slingers.
Or after your melee units engage with phalanx units, move your slingers to shoot them behind.
Hope this helps.
