Neitotoi Slingers

From Warbirth Wiki

"He liked the attention he got as he strutted with a sling draped through the cord around his waist ... and a spear in his hand.

Very accurate slinger. Probably the best slinger unit in all of the game.


Overall strategy[edit | edit source]

With a robe of coarse wool, a sling made from rawhide and a shield fashioned out of reeds from the rivers and streams of the land, these men may appear wretched compared to their noble comrades, but their art is a deadly one. A lifetime of corralling beasts and driving off predators has made these men as much a part of the land as the grasses and bushes their flocks feed on. Their aim is superb, and even the highest born warriors clad in the finest armour may meet a bloody end from one these men's slingstones, their heads dashed to pieces as a slingstone passes through their eye and out of the back of their skull. Able to unleash a deadly storm of stones and baked clay upon their foes before withdrawing fast as rabbits to the safety of the woods or the rear of their armies.

Thus, Neitotoi are best used for harassment at long range, so long as the enemy does not have any other units that can stand up to slinger units.
