Again the point is that any tile occupied by a gatling gun could have been occupied by an artillery one instead, which has more range and indirect fire.
The upgrade path for artillery is weird though, there is a HUGE gap between artillery and rocket artillery, so you have riflemen just standing in the open getting blasted by strength 28 artillery and they just dont care. Same with frigates -> battleships, cities with arsenals are pretty much immune to frigates and you have to tech to battleships which takes forever.
