Awesome Artillery

[Afterburner]

I'm in love with the artillery pieces in this game. I have no idea how a cannon actually looks when it is firing, but just playing around with the different cannons and the rocket launchers is awesome. I especially love the shrapnel rounds fired by some of the cannons and, of course, the rocket launcher.

So who else loves the artillery?

Artillery is fun, but a bit difficult to use. With the early technologies they don't have much of an effect, so then I'd rather take infantry or cavalry instead.

Later on, with explosive or grape-shot they can rout an enemy unit with a single volley, but even then they often end up as target for a cavalry charge.

Like everything, it takes practice to get used to using:P The round shot may seem poor, but if you set it up right, you can be bouncing cannon balls down their lines as they advance

artillery is cool.. but you need a lot of practice to get used to it..
