Just give them the MOM halfling slings that do 200 damage at range 50=) Seriously, though, slings are 0 resources, so I can certainly see a use for 5 gold, 1 resource hoburgs with a dagger, sling, and leather cuirass. With Flaming Arrows... they'd be better than crossbows, as they fire every turn.
However, I think hobugs need wristbows, like in Deus Ex. Oooh... hoburg mini-wrist-xbow assassins... and maybe some primitive tanks, too, with gatling slings. They really need a Hoburg Wagon that can hold 10 burgers and give them strat-move 2. Transports! Yes! That's what Dominions is missing... the flying carpet needs to be genericized. |
