Wild Boar 5-pounder Cannon
As loud and violent as its' namesake, the Wild Boar is a bronze cannon superficially similar to the enemies' gun. However, it is slightly smaller than their cannon, with a long barrel for its caliber, to give it great range and high muzzle velocity. It is mounted on our Water Wolf ships, with one gun per side, capable of pointing almost directly forwards (Mounted towards the bow and placed so they can fire past it) as well as sideways. If possible, time is spent on a light limber for horse-towing usage.

Well, crap. This is getting saved for later, I guess. Might use a modified version as our first iron-cast cannon. Those are *much* lighter than bronze ones, and cheaper (Copper is rare, and tin is even worse).



Sea Wolf
A Water Wolf modified to take two chase guns and a two-gun broadside, preserving maneuverability (And room for archers). The guns are, of course, Shonkhor Cannons, with the mount modified to allow generous horizontal traversal and *stay put* on a ship (Read: We put cute little tracks on the deck and a ROPE so the guns can't roll out).

 Tis' I, zee rope salesman! Would any of you like to buy some to keep cannonballs from falling out your guns while in transit? Non, I will not tell you how the rope with do that.

Maybe try to squeeze more into revision like better, more expensive sails? We are going to get a more expensive vessel anyway

I vote for madman's revision

That's not what the rope is for, Asea.

They also tend to explode randomly.

Ah, but it is not mon fought that you do not know all zee uses of my fine, quality rope!

I propose putting something on our guns to protect the match. if we put a leather strap over it, the match is protected form wind, mist, and light rain.

Matchlock's Match Lock
A simple leather cover that covers up a smoldering match, and protects it from the elements to a good degree. Quick, easy, and efficient.

Alrighty, then, hello! I'm joining in. Might as well just jump in, then.

This is good, quit good. But heavier rains yield faster winds. Faster winds equals more of a chance that the strap's on the cover can blow off. Still, base idea is sound and will work aside from those conditions.

I vote for the Matchlock's Match Lock to go up.

[Madman198237]

But if we do that we can safely assume that we'll lose out at sea.
Let's not do that, alright?

Only a set of idiots wouldn't put their cannon on a boat.


Kot, no, they don't, those are the non-cast iron ones, the built-up iron cannons made of 'hoops'. And it's not technically cast iron, but rather iron that has been cast (Cast iron is iron/steel with a LOT of carbon in it, it's heat-resistant but very, VERY brittle).

[Thanatos Russ]

Yes, what Madman said. We MUST NOT lose our chance at taking the islands completely.

Once we have them then we can easily entrench over time and just focus on winning the land war for a bit.

[Doubloon-Seven]

Actually, maybe we should push the mountain, try to preserve the navy. The Nafunans (if they aren't morons) have gotten boats, at this point, and possibly boats with cannons. I support Madman.

Actually, if they're not morons they've gotten ships with CANNONS, not just ships.

Easy 2 (I really hope your luck turns soon, also feels bad.)
Sea Wolf The Sea wolf is simply a water wolf with the new cannon design strapped on with minimal loss to the ships speed, unfortunately, this limits the ships use in the ocean as the cannons make the ship a bit bow heavy, and as such, in rough seas the ship has the unfortunate effect of having the bow of the ship and the chaser cannons getting more water then it should and ruining the gunpowder. It should be noted this isn't bad enough to sink the ship unless it is in a bad storm in which there was a chance of that happening anyway. This doesn't have any effect in calm seas however, and hopefully, our future engagements are even more effective then before. However, due to the cannons being complex, the design is too, sadly.

It is now the Battle Phase, the Khan hopes your work will be put to good use.
