PS: Did you know the Dardanelles cannons are named after a narrow windy strait dividing Europe from Asia? Also called the Dardanelles, this strait was a favorite haunt of the Barbary pirates, including the Barbarossa brothers themselves!

Are you referring to the names of the cannons under this class/type of weapons? Well they will probably be discovered along with the release of Carronades (whenever that is), just as what happened with the Cursed Blades' naming.
Ah... my basic knowledge of these cannons happened to be that they were "iron-cast (cast iron?) cannons": source: Wikipedia. And just out of question... how were Carronades in CotD? (I haven't played in a Loooong while)

And yes I do know about the Dardanelles strait. It was under the occupation of the Ottoman Empire, whose massive fortresses overlooked the movement of ships that passed through it. And this was one of the main reasons for the failiure of Anglo-French fleet in its attempt at securing a passageway to their ally Russia. Well, I learnt most of this from my History class this year (but I have a huge interest in History after playing Age of Empires). Barbarossa? I have heard of a feudal German leader by that name (from Age of Empires II), not a sailor... Could you tell me who yer talking about?
