So, the slingers suck. Enough said.

Can we make an upgrade for them? perhaps it can give them a 3rd attack, because i think an upgrade for them should play on their strengths, which is dealing with many infantry at once from range. Possibly give them an extra attack or two as well.

Any ideas?

Good idea, could become an alternative to the crossbow archer

Why don't you merge your proposal with the master slinger one?
The unit that throws 2 times per turn is the slinger, and the master slinger would be its upgrade

A first design

Undecided, but it sounds pretty cool.

Ok except he is a pointy-head (pinhead

) and he has a flail.

But good direction with the rest.

Posted: **Wed Apr 01, 2015 3:16 am**

I like it.

Although I must agree he looks a bit pointy

Isn't this a duplicate of a slinger?

And btw I just posted a topic about an upgrade for the slinger.

Daniel can you merge topics here?

I now see the quick archer is pettey mach the slinger
So I will go work on another idea

I think that the sling looks more like it should now

Posted: **Wed Apr 01, 2015 4:53 pm**

Ok, how about we remove the armor, maybe make their acuracy much greater like a true, MASTER slinger?

good idea!

i'll change it to a leather then

Hmm...

His helmet still looks a little bit weird for some reason. Other than that it looks really good. Maybe give him a slightly more fine looking shield than the original slinger?

Posted: **Sat Apr 04, 2015 2:50 pm**

Oooooh, I really like the shield in the first picture.

Although they kinda look like ants

can we remove the helmet off of the first picture and see what it looks like?

Posted: **Sat Apr 04, 2015 3:53 pm**

Without helmet it doesent look good.

Why such a complycated helmet??

Mayve lile this??

Well, this looks more like a pot on the head imho, i tried to make a simple round helm in the second pic, but it seemed strange, and i also wanted to keep the moustache

Posted: **Sat Apr 04, 2015 6:21 pm**

Ups wrong image.

Patroid

Posted: **Sat Apr 04, 2015 7:48 pm**

really better +1

Posted: **Mon Apr 06, 2015 2:16 am**

I like that. I am happy with how he looks now, anyone else have suggestions?

Posted: **Mon Apr 06, 2015 11:58 am**

I'd also like to rework a bit the normal one, that looks awful...
btw, i'd bring the range of the master version to 5

Posted: **Mon Apr 06, 2015 5:43 pm**

Do you think plus 2 range would be OP? Because slingers are affected by master archery I believe

Posted: **Mon Apr 06, 2015 8:42 pm**

I don't think so, if we make 5 range 3 attacks but low attack (or 2 attacks and normal damage)

Posted: **Wed Jun 24, 2015 7:14 am**

Different take on it what if a 6 turn tech only learned in archery range made slinger production time 1 round with no improvements to them?
