Next turn we should make precision cannons.

Speaking of lowest intelligence, that reminds me of the fact that it's probably your first time in prison. Don't worry, I can give you some tips, having spent some time in a few myself. The best way to make friends here is to drop the soap during shower time. Try it, I'm sure you'll love making friends like that!

First, what do you mean by precision cannons? Second, I oppose using the howitzers on our ships because I think they will be innacurate. Therefore, let's test them on the prototype we build this year and use whichever one is more accurate.

And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: 'I served in the Assaulted Lanterns Magma Artillery' - King Id I of the Assaulted Lanterns

All navel cannons of this era are innccurate and only prototype we built this year is the funiclear.

By prototype, I mean the first revised Mulard we build. The only thing indirect fire artillery was used for on ships in this era was for bombarding stationary targets like forts, it will not be useful in ship to ship combat. I love our howitzers, but this is not the right application for them.

Well this is our first revised Mulard, since we never revised it before. and the first one can barely float.

I agree that we should scrap the addition of the howitzer. Not too useful, quite heavy, and probably makes it more likely for something more crucial to go wrong trying to make it work.

Agree to stop the discussion going on ad infinitum.

Majority rule please.
