Maori Civilization Concept

[M00Z1LLA]

While this post is active, I’d like to amend the role of the Carronade to better cohere with its historical role. I had initially made it longer range than Falconets so that it could be a generalist artillery unit for civs like Haida/Tlingit and Hawaiians. However, they were actually more specialized for short range and should reflect that. Being a generalist unit is also not needed since the long range siege and anti-artillery roles can be covered by Tipao for the Maori, and Swivel Guns for Hawaiians and Haida/Tlingit.

Carronade

Carronades should still be available, but need some alterations to their stats to fit in better with Swivel Guns and better reflect their historical use. Carronades functioned as short range anti-personnel weapons so they definitely should not outrange Falconets. Instead, they could have lower base damage, but a higher AoE and infantry multiplier. These guns would have been the primary armament of merchant vessels and would not have been traded to the natives. Therefore, they would have been obtained through the salvage of captured ships. To reflect this, Carronades could have a makeshift chassis of lashed together logs and be carried around like a Mortar.
