Okay, here comes an asset:

Stronghold cannon plus carriage(?) in Spanish: cureña, the place where you put the cannon. It has 5 parts:

-Parapet: it protects the cannon from the front as much as possible. It varies in thickness between locations, from 0.5 to 5 meters.

-Cannon: Cylindrical tube closed on one end. Made of iron or bronze. It shoots bullets. In this case 24-pound bullets, so it's a 24 pounder.

-Front-back-moving carriage: it's the usual rectangular piece of wood with 2 vertical sides, another vertical piece near the front, 4 wheels and 2 stump-holders, where the cannon's stumps are supported.

-Direction/Turning carriage: It's a pair of rails where the 4 wheeled carriage rests. It has between 3 and 5 crossbeams, a pivoting place and 3 wheels. It usually has some inclination, so the cannon tends to go down into the battery. The inclination helps with the recoil. At the other end of the rails there is a windlass where a chain winds to control how much down can the cannon go.

-Rails and Pivot: Is the only part of the cannon that remains after the cannon is retired or disarmed. The rails are a pair for the two front and the back direction wheels.
