Overview

The Cetbang Cannon is similar to the Japanese Flaming Arrow, but weaker, less powerful, has less area of effect, and has less range. However, the Cetbang Cannon has higher speed and rate of fire, and cheaper while also using up less population. It has the same multipliers as the Flaming Arrow, but with slightly better multiplier against ships. Unlike the Flaming Arrow, the Cetbang Cannon has no multiplier against buildings.

History

First used by the Majapahit Empire, the cetbang, derived from the Chinese word chongtong, is a piece of light artillery which are found in two types: Eastern-style and Western-style. Eastern-style cetbangs are loaded from the front, typically fire arrow-shaped projectiles, sometimes tipped with explosive or incendiary, and are usually found in fixed mounts on ships or emplacements. On the other hand, Western-style cetbangs are loaded from the breech, fires round projectiles including "case" shots, and are light enough to be man-portable or mounted on swivels or carriages.
