An artillery unit has three things: Bombard, range, an rate of fire, but, what is rate of fire??????????
 
Rate of fire is how many attempts at damage a bombard unit gets per shot. For example:

When you fire a catapult (rate of fire of 1), the computer "rolls the dice" once. If you hit, you do 1 point of damage. If you miss, no damage.

When you fire an artillery piece (ROF of 2 I think), the computer "rolls the dice" twice. Each time you have a chance of doing damage. So an artillery piece can do 0, 1, or 2 points of damage each time it is fired.
 
Yup.

When Bombard succeeds both times (RoF=2), Civ3 still only animates it once ... making it appear like one attack doing two damage instead of two attacks doing one damage each ...
