How to use it

The Culverin is an artillery piece with long range, good damage and accuracy, but limited area of effect damage. Culverin outrange most units in the game and are a good choice to field against other artillery.

History

The Culverin gets its name from the Latin word for serpent - colubra - used to describe the cannon's distinctive curving handles. It was a long, heavy cannon and could fire at great range. A skilled team of gunners could use the Culverin's extreme range and precision to target specific enemy buildings or defenses.
