OrganGun
In the game's words
How to use it
The Organ Gun is a Portuguese artillery piece focused on damaging units. It has less range than most artillery pieces, but is devastating to soldiers, especially infantry. It is trained from the Artillery Foundry in the Fortress Age, or can be sent from the Home City. Like all artillery pieces, it is expensive and takes up several population spaces. Organ Guns are what a Portuguese player uses to shred enemy units. Because of their limited range and low hitpoints, it is important to protect them from units that get close.
History
Also called a ribauldequin, this Renaissance-era gun's multiple iron barrels line up side by side. These small caliber (for artillery) projectiles were meant to be fired at the same time, creating a wave of fearsome iron that could tear ranks of enemy foot and cavalry soldiers apart.
From the game's History encyclopedia (Artillery).

How this is worked out
Each hit: damage × every multiplier that matches the target's types × (1 − the target's resist to that damage). Two ranged units trade shots; against a melee-only unit the better of ranged and melee is used. Damage per second = hit ÷ seconds between attacks.
Armies bought with the same resources fight by Lanchester's square law: strength = (resources ÷ unit cost)² × damage per second × hit points. The edge is the square root of the strength ratio. All matchups.
