How about the english torchbearer and maceman ?
[/qmaceme
Dont worry quad the original sprite was made by me.

I want to compliment you as you have done a lot of work in very little time, i used to do even 6 sprites a day but eventually gave up, keep it up.

Also for historical reference google what unit you want to make and if you dont find anything contact me.

Also the macemen can be transformed to some sort of foot knight or militia.

They look cool quad really cool but keep in mind that we are working in periods.

1450s-1500s-1550s-1600s-1650s--1700s-1800s

Whenever you want to make a sprite choose on of these periods and google their uniforms and such so we can keep the historical accuracy

In the taxonomies of artillery pieces used by European (and European-style) armies in the 17th to 20th centuries, the howitzer stood between the "cannon" (characterized by a longer barrel, larger propelling charges, smaller shells, higher velocities, and flatter trajectories) and the "mortar" (which was meant to fire at even higher angles of ascent and descent). Howitzers, like other artillery equipment, are usually organized in groups called batteries.

He is right...howitzer had a different role than regular cannons and mortars
1st. The range was higher than cannon but lower than mortars
2nd. The proyectile trayectory was similar to mortar so it could reach troops behind a hill or mountain

I was thinking on giving each artillery piece a different role
cannon, 3-6 range, better against infantry
howitzer, 5-7 range, an standard bonus against both infantry and buildings and maybe a big area damage
mortar 8-9 range effective against buildings (the replacement for threbuchet)

Also we could add coastal defences, like artillery bateries with high bonus against ships

Tell me if u like this idea, or another u have...

If you search up howitzers used in the 17th century and later you will see they are basically small cannons that were hard to maneuver, however were eventually moved around on large wheels. They were similar to mortars but with a wider variety of trajectories, originally meant for sieges.
