General Information[]

  • Carabineer Raiders are good against resource buildings; doing up to 400% more damage.

Historical Description[]

With the advent of accurate, compact, quick firing and repeating rifles in the middle of the 19th century, Dragon guns were replaced by Carbine guns.

Historical Description in Dominations:

A 'Carabine' (French for carbine) is a rifle or musket with a shorter barrel than the standard-issue weapon. Carbines were given to horsemen for the obvious reason that it would be virtually impossible to load a full-length muzzle-loading weapon from horseback. Carbines were less powerful and had shorter range than the infantry's muskets or rifles. The invention of breech-loading weapons and magazines in the 19th century made carabineers extremely powerful – at about the same time that rapid-fire infantry weapons rendered all horses obsolete on the battlefield.
