Slingers in Rome Total War
Jun 14th, 2011 at 2:54pm
 
I thought it was an old topic in the forum, I searched but found nothing about it, apologies if I'm wrong. See the link. Rome Total is a game that has a very competent slingers units, normal and enhanced troops, the Balearic slingers, destroys Carthage in this battle to the faction of Brutii familly. slingers First, the slingers destroy the roman archers. Retiring the side, before loading the  roman turtle. During the clash of infantry from the flank are Stoned to the legions. A cavalry charge  to the few remaining Roman archers while the slingers are working,  protect self by distance. The cavalry charge from the rear to the uncoordinated Romans and the slingers  are decimating remains of the last two battalions, and finally cavalry  ends his agony.
One of the keys was the superiority of the Slingers against the archers, at least in the game, but apparently it did historically.
ˇˇˇSlingers power!!!

and here's number 4.
Rome total war has to be my all time favorite game and not just for its slingers.
RTW also has a lot of great mods and one of those great mods is called Iberia:Total war.. It has many different types of slingers

I'm totally buying that game... lol

I've been wanting to see something that showed slingers in the context of an organized war. would this whole arrangement be pretty much accurate?

are there staff slingers on the game?

Hallo!
I'm here only to say that yes, there was another thread I begun some months ago, and the idea was to collect all the games who offered slinging actions.
Another is Empire Earth, with mounted slingers Smiley

I play the game too that would be 5th player XD,  I know how to do simple cheats and small modification I like the one where you change the distance to more accurate numbers

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/rometotalwar/show_msgs.php?pid=589390&topic_...

I put the Balearic slinger at about 400 m,  the rest 160,  and the Rhodians at about 200 m  Cool
