lol... this might possibly get my most worthless new unit award.. an absolute joke.. better of spending ur money on peasants... lol

i was expecting this awesome barrage of guns ... instead it looks like someone throws a basketball at enemy troops every minute or so :/ just about as effective too...

Is the organ gun mobile or just stuck in one place? That like totally blows, if you can't atleast move it.

it rotates.. but the range is pathetic... (10 meters) average space between units in a formation is 2 meters..

and it does not effect a wide area... the ball like projectile doesnt have much velocity and doenst roll that far... serps are 5 times as effective as the organ gun even at 10 meters.

The shot for the organ gun is strange. It looks like a single "cannon ball" until it hits the ground, then it scatters. I've posted a series of 3 screen shots of the organ gun in action in the Entrance Hall (topic: Viking Invasion Screen Shots).

NC, I thought it was just me. I set up a custom battle with a dozen organ guns expecting this huge, awesome barrage of fire. The enemy kept getting closer and closer and they still weren't in range. Even lined up together they seem to fire individually and not together due to the short range. This is one of those units you don't want to leave in skirmish formation because after one shot they are skirmishing away from the gun. They also don't appear to be a weapon you mass together because of the short range. Of course, there may be a trick to using them that we've not figured out yet. The game has only been out for 24 hours after all.

I haven't tried it, but I'm glad it isn't highly effective. However, CA has made a mistake in the stats for that unit. The range stat is 3000, but the speed is 80. A speed stat of 80 limits the range to 1600.

i tested it and when the enemy came nearer i wondered whether i'd done a mistake or something since it did only shoot when the enemy had reached that "fearsome" organ guns
