In the game's words
How to use it
The Cannoneer is a mercenary ranged infantry unit. Like the Abus Gun, it is effective against infantry and deals siege damage in its attacks.
History
It was not at all uncommon for European adventurers and soldiers of fortune to pledge themselves to foreign rulers in exchange for vast sums of money. Cannoneers represent the vast number of European mercenaries who used advanced weaponry such as early muskets to carve out a niche in foreign lands, such as the Kongolese Kingdom, where military technology was not yet quite as advanced.
