About
Unit Description
What a Mortar may lack in sheer stopping power compared to cannons, it makes up with pure vicious, explosive destruction.
Historical Description
Mortars are short, heavy weapons, designed to lob a hollow, explosive shell high into the air so that it drops onto its target. While a solid cannon ball may plough through several victims, a Mortar shell explodes with tremendous force, scattering razor-sharp shrapnel over a wide area and scything through whole ranks of enemy warriors. Firing a Mortar is always a tense moment, for the quality of fuses is highly variable and it is not unknown for one to burn through before the crew have finished loading the shell. As a result, Mortar crews tend to be superstitious and carry multiple good-luck charms about their persons.
Attributes
Cannot Run
This unit cannot run and will only move at walking pace.
Strengths & Weaknesses
Anti-Infantry
Anti-infantry units have an advantage against targets that are smaller than a horse. This advantage can be a 
damage bonus against small targets, superior weight used to smash through lighter enemies, or an explosive attack from range that affects a large area.
