In the game's words
How to use it
The Falconet is an early artillery piece. Like most artillery pieces it has a long range and does a lot of damage, even damaging nearby units and buildings with area of effect damage. It is trained from the Artillery Foundry or may be sent from the Home City. Like all artillery pieces, it is expensive and takes up several population slots. Falconets are the first true artillery pieces you can generally expect to see in most games. Grenadiers are available earlier, but are often quickly eclipsed by the more powerful, longer-ranged Falconet. Only the Ottomans or Portuguese can field other artillery early.
History
Falconets were among the smallest artillery. They weighed about 280 pounds, had a six-foot barrel and used about a pound of powder to fire a one pound shot. Still, the small quantity of powder (relative to larger artillery pieces) was enough to make a properly braced Falconet fly back up to 10 yards when fired.
