Ribauldequin / Organ Gun

Post by Dan301002 »

A late medieval volley gun with many small-caliber iron barrels set up parallel on a platform, in use during the 14th and 15th centuries. When the gun was fired in a volley, it created a shower of iron shot. But, does the engine allow continuous attack in 1 salvo? (Basically one attack releasing balls of iron showering enemies in random trajectory in one side, the farthest trajectory is 2-3 from the center of target, the ball number? I don't know for now)

This units will be a good anti infantry / army.

Another cool gunpowder unit idea! Probably should have ashigaru range, damage, and accuracy, but gets 3 shots per turn or something. Would be useful for mowing down hordes of approaching troops where accuracy is not a concern.

Ribault
(Gun Powder Siege Unit)
A small multi-barrel wagon mounted cannon. A good defensive tool able to fire in a nine-barrel barrage.

The Ribault, also known as the organ gun due to its many pipes, is a fearsome spectacle on the battlefield. Armed with nine short-ranged barrels. Able to fire all nine barrels at once, it makes the enemy think twice before engaging!

First one seems to have that gun look, with straight​ barrels and a good appearance. The second looks like someone shaped the number 8 in the barrels.

Suggested stats: awful accuracy, but wide AOE maybe? Also low damage, multiple attacks?

1. A Ribauldequin, also known as a rabauld ,
ribault , ribaudkin , infernal machine or organ gun , was a late medieval volley gun with many small-caliber iron barrels set up parallel on a platform, in use during the 14th and 15th centuries. When the gun was fired in a volley, it created a shower of iron shot. They were employed, specifically, during the early fifteenth century, and continued serving, mostly, as an
anti-personnel gun. The name organ gun comes from the resemblance of the multiple barrels to a pipe organ

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribauldequin

2. I Think it shoots 1 Small Cannon Ball (9 Action Turns), It has Low Accuracy 70%, No Cooldown.

Cannon is can shoot only one cannon ball.

Yes, good idea and very similr to organ gun. Maybe topics can be merged.

I think that this would be good alternative against players who like to get spammy with defenders and skirmishers on maps where it is hrd to make melee contact with opponents.

I think this must not be buildable at TCs. Only by workers and siege workshops.
And no bonuses to any units. Or increase its cost by 1.

Re: Ribault

it will have 9 actions/turn. only.
Like an archer on heavy steroids 'cause it has higher range and far more actions.

Alas i suggest to increase its cost by 1 or even 2 as well because it can deal 45 damage per turn to single target excluding armor.

Hard to code in one row,

How about 2 action, area effect with 1 power range, and no damage penalty, so deals 5 physical damage to everything in area, cost can b 5 turns, does it is shooting about 10 bullets in one atk, or we can give 1 action and 10 base damage

wat is the operational range of original weapon, a few hundred metres? We should decide if it has archer range of 5 tiles or cannon range
