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.

I've been trying the Hoburgs at about the same time I discovered the beauty of Flaming Arrows and Wind Guide... but, to tell the truth, it takes some work to have the Hoburgs develop enough magic for this. I just happened to find a site that allows for the recruitment of Astral/Fire mages, so that made the trick...

Just use a Moloch with 9 Fire to do the trick. The Fire blessing to those cheap holy units is also a big plus. Though it's strange but it's thematically, marginally possible that the hobbit, no holburg got tamed by the dark side. Also, to win, who care .

The mod seems to be a little bit overpower to me - I'm serious. I think I can use it to beat quite a lot of the regular nations, might be even in an MP game.

The holy units need to be capital only but there's probably no way to mod it in right now. Volkfriend is too cheap, though you can argue it's similar to the Sun Warriors of Mictlan with less hp and higher protection. The mass-crossbow is devastating but that's rightfully a characteristics of horburg nation. 100 gold for a 3 magic horticulturist is a little bit too low IMHO. 120 or 150 would be more appropriate. Also, why are most priests and mages have 25 leadership? Most of the other nations, except for Marignon, usually have only 10. For horburg slingers, it's thematic to just give the weapon to the militia.
