Hi MJF,
Serpentines are a little too accurate for a battle - they very often kill a unit a few men at a time which is a little slow - they also have a low range, which enables the AI to sit out of the way of their missiles. Surprisingly cannons, although less accurate, do cause alot more damage and have a higher chance of hitting their targets due to their huge missile size, their almighty power and their missiles ability to bounce into enemy units (especially useful if the missile lands short of their poor old target or the enemy is in a nice long densely packed line). Also, they have a good long range making it harder for the foes to sit far away and be unreachable! Hope this helps, cheers!
