And you better keep yourself in check should it be Halloween or close to it: he is quoted to go Gaesatae at those moments....

Anyway now for the more serious remark I intended to make before Thaatu distracted me with the memories of slightly disturbing threads ...

Based on my own gameplay experience:
-archers tend to be very effective on their own compared to slingers;
-two units (or preferably more) of slinger firing at targets from different angles make for a more effective combination than two archer units doing the same;
-the combination of flaming arrows (the arrows causes massive moral drops) + sling bullets (nearly every bullet equals a hit, equals a potential kill) is particularly powerful against armour or against massed crowds (i.e. on bridges, in the streets);
-flaming arrows are rather devastating against lightly armed enemies; but from time to time (mostly when they got *big* shields) you will do better without the flames;
-slingers are particularly good against units with *big* shields.
