Question. How come the Loyalists got three actions (6-in cannon, Cargo Brig, Horse railway)?

Hydro power seems sensible, but rainwater collection looks more likely to be imminently needed. Also it looks like we can start farming with rainwater...

The problem is finding a hull which can safely contain a steam engine, have some way for it to spew out its power, and somehow the vessel must be seaworthy, at the same time that the engine must be useful enough.
Such technology did not exist for another half century.

No to the steam engine. Steam-powered ships aren't any better anyway before we have access to high pressure, probably superheated steam.
Steam for now is most useful for industry. We might, for example, make rifling easier by the use of machine tools, or the stamping of cannonballs easier, but overall it isn't of much direct help on the battlefield.

Agree that Ft. Silver is going to be a highly contested hotspot. It deserves a defensive focus unless something has changed too much.
Ft. Combe is also a good candidate to keep our focus for the time being, but we currently have very little solution to their Dragoons. How about pressing towards bradford instead?

At the end of the day we may need higher amount of firepower, but for now we should steal their ship.

« on: November 26, 2015, 05:23:21 am »Question. How on earth it is possible for a smoothbore to be incapable of firing round shots?QuoteAM-R-II 12 pounder Howit - A variant of the AM-R that weights slightly over a ton. Its bore has been modified to be able to effectively use case and low explosive shot. However, this comes at a cost that neither ball or canister ammunition can be used with the gun. The effective range of the cannon is 600 meters for the case shot and 450 meters for the explosive shot. (Very Expensive)
Tech Gained:
Explosive Shot
Case Shot
Looks like you landed with the other side of the coin with this one...

And still a we can fit 2 12lber carronades for the price of 1 Howitzer. Plus its a better fit for fast boats.

I feel this might go NE.
Would it be better to design a carronade or even a Coehorn mortar instead?
