Historical units that need to be added into the game

Maxim Gun

I’ve seen a fair few people mention this (tagged below) as something that should be introduced into the game, especially after the release of the USA civ/revolution that enabled the training of Gatling Guns. I presume that the Maxim Gun would have a slightly higher attack than the Gatling Gun but have less hit points and only be able to be acquired in the Imperial Age. I recon it would not have any positive or negative multipliers but probably be weak against other artillery particularly culverins. As for who it should be available for, I think it should be offered as a one time home city shipment that maybe delivers 3 for 2500 coin for the French, German and Russian civs. As for the British, Maxim Guns should be attainable through a home city card that moves Rockets to the Artillery foundry (for an increased cost cost of 200 wood 600 coin) but allows Maxim Guns to be trained in the factory (but very slowly).

Maxim Gun for the British. Sent only via the HC in very limited numbers (its comes towards the end othe AoE3 timeline) and acting pretty much the same as in-game upgraded Gatling Gun, the Maxim was the world’s first fully automatic gun.

@CanineCrown7153

British engineers were as good as the Germans. See tank and ship development. And in the US, Maxim and Gatling guns

@Jamesagraham5

the Maxim Gun will be based around the United States’ Gatling Gun, it will be extremely deadly to all infantry and cavalry with its only negative multiplier being against other artillery and buildings.
