[Question] IS using Braves/Slingers for defense army a good idea?

[texanwolf999]

With Royal Bath House and Governor's Villa you can get NPC-only units. Using them in battle isn't practical, as they have to die for their skill to take effect. However, in defense it is not a problem. Futhermore, they look like lower age units, so it might surprise a would-be attacker, and might even cause them too click auto resolve and loose, or at leats take some losses. However, not sure if it outweights teh disadvantages
Edit:Meant barbarians instead of slingers

It can be a nice trick, cause Barbarians have last stand, but you can only use it in EMA and you need to use 8 barbarians. Downside,like any trick it probably only works once. Once that attacker has caught on, your defense becomes weaker.

They can work sure, but only for the age they come from
