As a side note the multipliers are in a different order in volley mode compared to defend mode and stagger mode.

Not really. It just looks like a bug to me so I reported it. Normal grenadiers do not receive less range in defend mode so I assume it was an oversight when they were making the unit.

Honestly I would love to see the artillery multiplier get nerfed. A 1x multiplier should be strong enough for a longer range faster grenadier; Especially for a civ that already has abus guns, +1 line of sight on artillery for some reason, and a generic artillery combat card in age 3 that instant wins 2 falconet wars while buffing abus and humbaraci. I don’t think it even needs a better multiplier in the first point but whatever. There was a very valid reason grenadiers had their artillery multiplier nerfed to 0.5x so it baffles me that humbaraci ended up with 4.5x times the artillery damage as a normal grenadier.

I suppose this is not the right forum to discus balance though.
