Designer Notes
Towed artillery, while being substantially cheaper than self-propelled guns, is fading fast from the Southern armies, even in the most backwater regions of the Emirates. The problem comes from the rapid response time which Northerners and other enemies have developed. These carriages require some preparation time to be stabilized before firing and need to move quickly after shooting. Unfortunately, this often means the artillery crew has no more than thirty seconds before counter-fire hits their current position, and the high casualty rate outweighs the advantages procured by cheaper artillery carriages.
