You got that right. In fact, speaking of the historicity of the Culverin when compared to the AoE3 version, the Culverin-looking cannon that’s seen on the Elite Cannon Galleon in AoE2 DE deals a lot of damage to anything (especially against buildings) and so does the AoE4 Culverin, both cases obviously reflecting the historical reality of the Culverin.
Great bombard do need to be adjusted, they has poor cost performance.
But we really can’t force this game to be completely historical.
Otherwise you should given Chinese crossbowman in the age1, because their army had equipped crossbow in B.C.
The same goes for arqueguns and culverins, even though the Chinese were widely equipped with these weapons during the Ming Dynasty.
Why don’t we come back and talk about how to buff Ottomans in econmy side？
How many things do you have saved on copy paste?
We are for realism, so we got what the Ottoman Empire was 
There are so many Ottoman fanboys here that cry like there is no tomorrow about how their beloved civilization isn’t the best in the whole game, and anything else is discrimination against the Ottomans or worse!
Are you listening to yourself saying this? Take a chill pill and provide constructive feedback on how to adjust and balance the Ottomans to be more of the same level as other civilizations in certain regards like the great bombard and the developers will work on it.
But please stop making the Ottomans sound like they are gods among all other civilizations in the game and that the developers hate the Ottomans. It’s ridiculous, and you know it!
“Let’s add the Ottomans to the game in the 25th anniversary for free to celebrate 25 years of AoE, just because we hate Ottomans so much!” Like do you see how ridiculous this sound?

I didnt read the rest after this:
If you dont put effort into understanding our trouble with the civ despite us saying many times they can be the worst civ for all we care, nobody is going to take your “contribution” into consideration.
