Default Re: Archery poll

I think you are on a different page from SC, Frank. SC's goal (i believe) is simply to give every unit *some* value, not make them all the same value. So slingers would still be the worst of the archer-type units, but thier gp/res would be balanced according to thier actual value and standing in the ranking of archer-units.

In this way, you actually have more strategy, not less, as you suggested. Since before a balance you would just never build slingers, ever. But after a balancing, you might say to yourself "you know do to this, this, and that factor, slingers might be a cost effective choice here" and then build some.
