Unfortunately slings have crap stats in Dom3. So while Greeks certainly had very effective slingers, in game terms these would have to have very high precision to compensate, which in turn would require them to be very costly for missilers (or they'll have to have somewhat better slings?). They can have shields, however... Elite archers should probably be capital only. Maybe it would be better to make something like RTW "heavy peltasts" which could actually hold their own in melee?

I think I'd pay a bit more gold for slingers with high prec and a few other stat boosts. Obviously they'd be a niche unit - anti low prot troops. They could deal slightly more damage with their slings, reflecting either increased accuracy or better quality of stones. Another major advantage would be 2 mapmove, since they aren't 'militia'.

And why do you not like Crocodiles (snake themed sacreds are present in C'tis, after all)?

I suggest snake themed sacreds because MA Mictlan is based around flying snakes and has a serpent sacred national summon. Crocodiles just don't seem to come into it.

Honestly I don't like the latter two. And why don't you want to include chariots here instead of EA???
|
Because chariots were present in the early history of Irish warfare and in Dom3 are generally an EA thing.

They should be a little better than wolf - they are selected as wolf-hunters, after all...

Dogs used to hunt wolves would obviously outnumber them. They were also used to hunt bears.
TC are masters of the elements. Ulm aren't even close to that.

Another thought on MA Mictlan (probably C'tis as well) - is a spell which releases an arrow & then summons a snake at the point of contact possible? With a low-level making 1 arrow-snake & high-level many, similar to Vine Arrow/Storm of Thorns?

Probably possible and a nice idea. I tink I'd make it a poison arrow rather than a tangle arrow though.
