AoE attacks can be good, particulart poison, since everyone in the area is poisoned and starts taking damage. They should then loose their glamour. Hydras should be good in the case of sauromatia. It also has lots of attacks to maximize thce chances of hitting someone in melee.

Slingers are probably better than other ranged weapons cost wise. You only need one point of damage to get rid of the glamour, so the sling should be almost as effective as the bow (apart from having slighter chance of penetrating armors).
