Description

Slingers are a good, cheap attacking unit. They are quick to make; great for building an offence quickly.

You'll find slingers in nearly every attacking army due to their cost and production speeds, as well as their attack attribute. Despite this, never send them alone as they are weak against a number defensive units, for example, Swordsmen. They are also very weak defensively.
