Here's something I never quite understood: why, from a gameplay perspective, do cannons come so much later than rifling and other early pre-modern tech, directly from catapults and trebuchets? It seems like a long jump, and a big one.
I think so too. I don't know if there were actually nations which manufactured only muskets/ rifles and no cannons, but I think it's conceivable. Rifles are more about precision mechanics.Flipantropo said:So i guess its for gameplay reasons, to make you choose between cannons and rifles.
On a side note, the word cannon is both singular and plural. No need for cannon(s).
yes, Cavalry was overpowered and in vanilla Cossacks even more so, a base strength 18 unit with the tech that yields base strength 12 cuirassiers in BtS.
If cannons and cavalries were along the same tech path with each other than that wouldn't happen. Divided tech paths caused late cannons.
