Ballistics (Civ6)

Ballistics is an Industrial Era technology in Civilization VI. It can be hurried by having 2 Forts in your territory.
== Strategy ==
Mankind has been throwing and launching things since time immemorial (or at least the Ancient Era). But they haven't put an awful lot of thought into how they were doing it, just using the latest invention and learning on the fly.
When thousands of bullets and tens of cannonballs started flying each minute on the battlefield, the generals thought that maybe it would be worthwhile to apply some of these fancy new scientific methods in order to teach the men to shoot better. This is later called "ballistics." And their efforts are soon rewarded by the invention of a small, much more maneuverable cannon: the Field Cannon, which is naturally far superior to the crossbow, because it blows up the thing it hits. In Gathering Storm, this technology also prompts the realization that there isn't much of a justification for the fully armored Knight anymore, which leads to the innovation trademark of the Renaissance and Industrial Eras: they remove some of his armor and give him a gun, creating the Cuirassier.
