Re: Archery poll
Slingers were useful because they were missile units, and historically, missile units were rare. That is, not just people who could shoot a bow or sling, but groups of them who could be brought on a military campaign. Professional archers took years to learn their trade. It wasn't just "how many bows and arrows can be whip together and give to random conscripts?". So part of the problem with trying to match historical reality is that there are so many provinces that offer shortbow troops, and part of it is that they require _fewer_ gold and resources than other generic troops.
The rest of the issue is the typical one, that Dom2 makes summons and super-powerful spells really cheap for their effects, putting mere mortals into the "overpriced" category.
