Renowned Armoured Slingers are a type of infantry unit in a Total War Saga: Troy.
Description[]
The widespread use of slings for hunting small game, combined with the low cost of materials, made them a favourite of skirmishers as far back as the Neolithic Age. The bullets, often fashioned out if polished stone or bronze, could also be crafted from unfired clay that would explode upon hitting the ground in the manner of modern-day grenades. Despite their crudeness, slings still played a crucial role in the Trojan War. According to Homer, the Locrian hero Ajax, son of Oileus, led a contingent of slingers known for raining devastation upon the Trojan battle lines.
