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?

Wikipedia is like getting a whole bunch of people together in a closed room, then making them think that they are intelligent and saying, "Ok, now answer all these peoples questions with basic knowledge in your head." That's why I don't trust it much. And as I was saying about the Carronades, the British and French used these in warships and defensive forts. They were powerful, and maybe Disney considered calling the Cannon Defense cannons "Carronades". And the Barbarossa brothers (Which are who Barbossa in POTC is named after) were the most successful and feared Barbary pirates. The Barbary pirates were not actually pirates, but privateers for the Moorish Muslims who employed the privateers to sink the Spanish, whom had declared war on the Muslims and attacked them. And carronades were purchasable from PDF on CotD,(I think?) but it has been a while since I have played CotD too. Hope that clears some stuff up.
