Considering that the Culverin still costs the same as before, it needs to have its cost reduced from 400 Wood and 600 Gold to 350 Wood and 500 Gold because it feels weird how it’s more expensive than the Bombard and Ribauldequin, both of which are slightly stronger than the Culverin. Also, considering how better the Great Bombard is than before as it has been buffed in the current version (Patch 8.2.218), it would be good if it was nerfed by having its speed reduced from 0.62 tiles to 0.42 tiles for the sake of balancing (but also because it can reflect the fact that the Great Bombard was rather slower than smaller cannons due to how massive it was).

Problem is that if they do that would make springald even worse at countering culverin.
I think the price of culverin is proportional to springald cost, not to bombard. So that it’s fair with other civ.
Also historically it make sense since culverin are the most precise siege and also the one with most range. 2 things that were quite hard to achieve in history and probably the reason for their cost. Meanwhile a bombard doesn’t need be accurate and need be setup, its just a big tube shooting huge thing.

Great bombard was bad unit until devs over buffed the Istanbul Observatory (age4 landmark) when you combine it with Mehmed Imperial Armory you can mass great bombards very easly and that make them shine otherwise its now a decent unit with buffs.
Beware the side effect of mentioning historical accuracy, there are some people that will leave a reply about this being a video game and making it more historical accurate will not improve if not hurt gameplay. I have had that happen a couple of times already.
I applaud it nonetheless tho.
Tho i feel like you might as well add diving bird bombers while they are at it, since it’s about gameplay and gameplay abstractions. And that somehow will make the game more fun and more playable, NOT HISTORICAL ACCURACY. Weird peeps.
Yes, sorry it’s off topic.
I mean when GAMEPLAY fit with historical accuracy that’s a bonus.
When it doesn’t because gameplay need to be improved that’s fine as well.
Just giving a reason for culverin being more expensive, i think they are also higher tech than other siege.
