What are your favorite types of artillery to use in empire total war.

My personnel favorite is the 24-pound howitzer with either lime shot or percussion shells. I usually use quick lime shot more often due to its long range of effect.

Usually a nice group of 3 24 pound howitzer with lime shot can prove to deal a lot damage to line infantry.

Always keep the 24lb-ers at the back with the lime shot, keep 2 units of 6lb cannon by the main line using only the grapeshot. Always works for me

I always use 24 pounders. I used to use howitzers, but I found them far too easy to use so I switched to cannon. Besides the "whoosh" sound effect that the cannon balls make when they go past you is epic.

Not a big artillery fan, although mortars can work wonders at breaking up an advancing infantry line and no siege is complete without a nice row of cannons to wreak havok on my foes. Plus you gotta love the rumble of firing cannons in the background...

But generally I'm more of a cavalry man. Artillery softens em up, infantry hold the line, and a well placed cavalry charge seals the deal. Rest is just slaughtering any enemy survivors.

Mortars full of quicklime. Devastating when they hit, beautiful for softening up targets in a field battle.
