    Chevrons don't increase missile damage. They only increase accuracy, the unit card description is incorrect. We had a discussion earlier and proved it.

    That isn't really the point, they will still cause more casualties either way, so the required effect will be achieved.

    If I remember correctly someone from the team explained this a long time ago. The people of the Balearic Isles were well known as slingers and often used ammo which was much larger than that used by others. Explaining the reduced range, higher attack and lower ammo count.

    Exactly. And that's why it's a good thing to read a unit description.

    The above is my changed file. The stats I've highlighted are missile attack, range and ammo.

    Change these as you see fit. Save file and overwrite in its original location (you did make that copy in case you mess up)

    Fully compatible with all saved games.

    Done.
