What is lethal bombardment?

[dndfan]

Hi everyone! First poster here, so go easy on me

I couldn't find the meaning of lethal bombardment either in the Civilopaedia or on the site. Can anyone enlightne me on this matter? Sorry if this was posted in the wrong forum, I think lethal bombardment was added in Conquests.

Normal (non-lethal) bombardment cannot bombard units that are red-lined (down to their last health bar). In other words, it can't kill them.

Wheras lethal bombardment can bombard units that are red-lined and therefore kill them.

Welcome to CFC dndfan!

IIRC:

Byzantine Dromon (available with Map Making) is the first unit with lethal sea bombardment.
Korean Hwacha (available with Metallurgy) is the first unit with lethal land bombardment.

Thanks for the welcome party

The explanation makes sense. Thanks!

Note that if non-lethal bombard units bombard a 1-hp unit it will hit terrain or city.
