A late medieval volley gun with many small-caliber iron barrels set up parallel on a platform, in use during the 14th and 15th centuries. When the gun was fired in a volley, it created a shower of iron shot. But, does the engine allow continuous attack in 1 salvo? (Basically one attack releasing balls of iron showering enemies in random trajectory in one side, the farthest trajectory is 2-3 from the center of target, the ball number? I don't know for now)

This units will be a good anti infantry / army.

Another cool gunpowder unit idea! Probably should have ashigaru range, damage, and accuracy, but gets 3 shots per turn or something. Would be useful for mowing down hordes of approaching troops where accuracy is not a concern.

Ribault
(Gun Powder Siege Unit)
A small multi-barrel wagon mounted cannon. A good defensive tool able to fire in a nine-barrel barrage.



The Ribault, also known as the organ gun due to its many pipes, is a fearsome spectacle on the battlefield. Armed with nine short-ranged barrels. Able to fire all nine barrels at once, it makes the enemy think twice before engaging!

First Try. No Teamcolor

First one seems to have that gun look, with straight​ barrels and a good appearance. The second looks like someone shaped the number 8 in the barrels.

Suggested stats: awful accuracy, but wide AOE maybe? Also low damage, multiple attacks?

I Agree, Did you mean Low accuracy, 9 action turns, low damages? no cooldown?

What time period was this unit? And how different from the cannon unit is it?

1. A Ribauldequin, also known as a rabauld ,
ribault , ribaudkin , infernal machine or organ gun , was a late medieval volley gun with many small-caliber iron barrels set up parallel on a platform, in use during the 14th and 15th centuries. When the gun was fired in a volley, it created a shower of iron shot. They were employed, specifically, during the early fifteenth century, and continued serving, mostly, as an
anti-personnel gun. The name organ gun comes from the resemblance of the multiple barrels to a pipe organ

2. I Think it shoots 1 Small Cannon Ball (9 Action Turns), It has Low Accuracy 70%, No Cooldown.

Cannon is can shoot only one cannon ball.

Yes, good idea and very similr to organ gun. Maybe topics can be merged.

I think that this would be good alternative against players who like to get spammy with defenders and skirmishers on maps where it is hrd to make melee contact with opponents.

I think this must not be buildable at TCs. Only by workers and siege workshops.
And no bonuses to any units. Or increase its cost by 1.

Same unit - merged!

your nick name should be "coolmerge"!

lol

No really, put it into your list. "Cool guy aka coolmerge"

Hits all enemies in a row of 5.

repost, we already have an image and it is ready for voting too i think

http://ageofstrategy.net/viewtopic.php? ... a228d08ba5

some one wants to put team colour so it can b put to vote list?

Wait a second how is the ffire mechanic going to work????

I suggest it hits 3 units in a row or hit 5 in a row and add one more turn cost

Well im blind lol thanks!!!

it will have 9 actions/turn. only.
Like an archer on heavy steroids 'cause it has higher range and far more actions.

Alas i suggest to increase its cost by 1 or even 2 as well because it can deal 45 damage per turn to single target excluding armor.

It doesent make snese for single target i mean this weapon worked more like a shotgun

Hard to code in one row,

How about 2 action, area effect with 1 power range, and no damage penalty, so deals 5 physical damage to everything in area, cost can b 5 turns, does it is shooting about 10 bullets in one atk, or we can give 1 action and 10 base damage

wat is the operational range of original weapon, a few hundred metres? We should decide if it has archer range of 5 tiles or cannon range

@COOLguy can u merge topics?

They were very inaccurate but they had a 100 meters effective range

Then I guess 5 or 6 range?
