Outsider Slinger Rabble
Class: missile · Category: infantry · Men per unit: 40
Reforms: Unlocked by Military innovations have arrived!, Rise of the Warbands
Description
Slingers joined the Batavian revolt, they appear to have been among the reinforcements Julius Civilis brought in from across the Rhine. Given symbolic importance of the framea, it seems likely that men armed with slings instead were not full members of the nation they served.
