Unlike the gunsmith, a cannon maker has the space and equipment required to produce barrels of varying lengths and widths, paving the way for the advent of weapons such as the mortar, ribault, or the grand bombard.īombard (everyone except for Mongols), Rocket Launcher (Mongols), Ribault (all Christian factions except Russia, France, HRE), Grand Bombard(Moors, Egypt, The Turks, Russia, Timurids, France, HRE, Spain, Portugal, Milan), Mortar (England, Scotland, Venice, The Papal State, Sicily)Īs more advanced cannon designs involving longer, narrower barrels appeared, the need for cannon makers to experiment with alloy composition and casting grew proportionately, and thus the Cannon Foundry was born. As an entry-level structure pioneering a new design, gunsmiths are only large enough to fashion one cannon design, that of the bombard.īombard (everyone except for Mongols), Rocket Launcher (Mongols)Īs the merits of cannons became evident on the battlefield, the demand for both new cannon designs and increased production brought about the need for the Cannon Maker. Fashioning a barrel of wrought iron bars that can hold its shape properly requires precision on a level that standard smiths are simply not equipped to deal with, and the Gunsmith is the first specialist workshop equipped to produce such a piece.
