In the game's words
How to use it
The Napoleon Gun is a mercenary unit that can be trained at the Saloon or the Monastery and is available starting in the Fortress Age. Like Leather Cannons, Napoleon Guns are swifter and faster-firing than most artillery units, but have less hit points, armor, and range in comparison. They are particularly effective against infantry units, but vulnerable to melee attacks, especially from cavalry. They have an additional powerful short-range attack, the Case Shot.
History
The 12-pounder Napoleon gun was named for the emperor of France, where it was developed in 1853. It quickly gained traction in the United States, where its power, versatility, and mobility were immediately noticed and used to dreadful effect; 12-pounders were some of the deadliest killing machines of the American Civil War. By the late 19th century it had superseded most field guns as the dominant model.
