Description

Slings are light and cheap weapons. Nevertheless, they are difficult to handle. On the battlefield they barely cause any damage to armoured opponents, but at least their munition is readily available.

• During battle, Slingers deploy to the long-range weapons battle line, unless they are out of munition and they are needed to fill the front battle line.
• 30 Slingers fill the long-range weapons battle line battlefield space of the Mini, Small and Medium battlefields.
• 40 Slingers fill the long-range weapons battle line battlefield space of the Large battlefield.
• 50 Slingers fill the long-range weapons battle line battlefield space of the Big, the largest, battlefield for a maximum of 350 Slingers.

Attack Sequence

Front battle line → Flanks → Long-range weapons battle line

Training times

$Training \ time \ = \left \lceil Base \ time \times 0.95 ^ {n - n_0} \right \rceil$

where:

• Training time: The calculated time (in seconds) needed to train the specific unit on the n^th Barracks' level.
• Base time: The time (in senonds) needed to train the specific unit on the Barracks' first level that the specific unit can be trained [for this unit 1 minute 30 seconds = 90 seconds].
• n: The n^th Barracks' level.
• n₀: The Barracks' first level where the specific unit can be trained [for this unit is the 2^nd Level].

• 1 - 10
• 11 - 20
• 21 - 30
• 31 - 40
• 41 - 50
• 51 - 54

Notes

• On December 15, 2015 in Patch 0.7.0;   Levels 50 – 54 were removed from the Barracks.

  These levels were not possible because their resource requirements exceeding the towns storage capacity even if you used the premium feature Steam Lifter to double your storage.

• These levels are shown as  Levels 50 - 54 .
