I don't think I will be able to make those. But I gave my sloppy slinger animation to themanuneed, so maybe he can improve it and make more slingers for different civs.

Whatever you can come up with is just SUPER.
Slingers perhaps had a minor role in early warfare, but they did some important duties.
So since not many versions of slingers have been made.
Any kind any amount will just be great.
I have a few other units in the way, but I promise I'll try your animations soon. Right now, my main concern is Civinator's request (Shakespeare as a cultural leader). Then back to Antiquity

as i have said before slingers make havoc among unarmored targets. it is recorded that they were using bronze projectiles that were harming also the horses...so the slinger is important amonf shepherd populations...
... And thereby could be given Stealth attack against unarmored targets, giving an undoubtedly otherwise weak unit some punch.
Best,
Oz

and if they got stealth vs all units they could be "sent" in to finish up injured and at the time weaken units "hiding" behind strong perhaps Hoplite units.
Maybe make them move 2 so they could out of trouble. I think moving 2 would make them interresting for the AI, to completement horsemen. Slingers should come earlier then the horse anyway. Slingers should complement other light early units like Velites and Peltasts. Shouldn´t they ?
Having stealth and lesser offensive/defensive than these Velites and Peltast they have a unique factor.
After all a lot of countries used slingers in early warfare for what I have read.
Then Balearean and Rhodian slingers should then be "mercenaries" with little extras than those converted sheep-boys.

Rhodians mostly just get shot by Han Solo.

That´s a great slinger. Could serve as any Med-civ I guess.
Have it been realesed or are you sitting on it until your Mod is ready.
Looking at many mods around this forum it could take years ;-(
If you made it Guardian I can only say it´s just what the doctor ordered.

Nope, not me. The credit goes to Imperator. Sry, but you will have to wait. It has already been about 10 months and the units are about half done. If you haven't already, visit the thread and learn more.

A good one - it's from Imperator, so no surprise here.
The only detail came to my mind based on the common sense - the strap should be rotated vertically (currently in horizontal surface), otherwise it can hurt slinger himself.

Hey Shiro,
Just noticed that the Israelite Spearman has something funny going on with his (Westward) Run animation -- the unit suddenly increases in size, and there's a single-pixel line around the bottom & right hand side of the frame. (see attached for screenshot)

2nd to Mithadan, any chance of correcting the unit? Thanks.

Ditto. I believe I made a note of this back on june 30, 2011 in post #20 0r #22. Has this still not been fixed?
This giant spearman is scary! Not easy to correct though. I hope Shiro still has the files...
