Description Light skirmisher designs for First Empress: slings and javelins. Female and male designs. Light skirmishers are generally recruited from the lowest parts of society, generally peasants and former slaves. Slings are made from hemp or leather, and a competent slinger can fling a cat's-eye-sized bullet at shield-crunching speeds. Javelin skirmishers generally carry 3-6 heavy javelins for wounding infantry or suppressing cavalry. These light skirmish units have generally lacked armor and considered themselves lucky to have shields or sidearms. Though Queen Viarra has pushed to equip all of her soldiers with at least a leather brigandine or cuirass, some of the light ranged units remain unarmored.
