*'''Range''': How far the projectile can travel. Range is measured in meters.
*'''Accuracy''': The higher the more accurate, 1 being 100% accurate.
*'''Accuracy''': The higher the more accurate, 1 being 100% accurate.

*'''Lethality''': The chance of killing the target if struck.  Cannon balls and stones flung by artillery can bounce and hit more men.
*'''Power''': How many hitpoints of damage it does to the target on a lethal hit.  Average soldiers have 1 hitpoint, but generals, nobles with warrior virtues, princes, monarchs and berserkers have more than 1.  Mainly used to calculate how much damage is done to buildings.  Most artillery has a blast radius which represents splash damage.  Soldiers inside the blast radius have a 25% chance of being killed.
