Exemplary Trojan Slingers are a type of infantry unit in a Total War Saga: Troy.

Description[]

Wielded by hunters as far back as the Neolithic, slings remained in use well into the Late Bronze Age. They were cheap to produce, using animal hair or leather, and any capable Anatolian child would have learned to use them to hunt for small game. Slingshot could be fashioned out of polished limestone or bronze, but was most often made from unfired clay that broke apart upon hitting the ground, damaging multiple enemies in the same manner as modern-day grenades. Slingers were most often deployed as skirmishers, harassing the enemy ahead of a charge.
