Mortars (Vampire Coast)

Mortars are a artillery unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer II with Curse of the Vampire Coast.
== Recruitment ==
* Unlocked with: Munitions Hut or Bombards
== 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 a large number of good luck charms about their person.
== Attributes ==
== Unit Abilities ==
=== Passive Abilities ===
* Crumbling
* Disintegrating
* Black Powder Aplenty
== Strategy ==
Very inexpensive with a high trajectory that will clear any terrain/walls and blow to pieces lightly armoured targets. Just pin the targets with whatever you have at hand and shell away. Only high armor and high-hp/low-model count units can endure more than few volleys.
