what I mean is that most slinger are at least 2 times more effective than archers... slingers fire quick, accurate, got lots of ammo and the deliver a strong blow almost the same distance as a long bow. IMO that's quite overpowered. I remember a battle (me with Rome vs Aedui) and my 4 slingers groups were positioned on the top of a hill, not a mountain or a big wall... a simple hill, and they HARASSED the barbarians be4 they could charge :P and there were many.

In the other hand, archers are better close combat stats, better armor and can use flaming arrows (that are one of the best things of the unit)
