well Ive played games where resources were the deciding factor. It wasnt worth me saving gold to make bowmen somehwere else. I dont care as much about "best" as I do pros and cons.

 In SP yeah but i have to admit that i am even there kinda a powergamer . In MP most other ppl are also 

 .
But that's only personal taste . I made 3 quickfights in your nice minimap 35 machaka archers vs. 40 slingers and in one of the 3 fights , entertainingly the first one , the slingers won .
So thnx to the really good dice roll system though the slingers are a bit worse as shortbowmen they are not so useless that they are never worth being bought also 

 .
Especially by arco cause they are their only missile troop 

 . It is always a question of availibility too . 99% of the Man players will always buy longbowmen instead of slingers but some Arcoplayers will buy slingers until they find e.g. cheap indy x-bowmen or archers .

If you nitpick the numbers to "best" then we will only have 6 units in the game. You might as well be playing chess.

 Which 6 units that would be ? 

 I would say that at least 50 units are very useful
