History[]
First used by the Majapahit Empire, the cetbang, derived from the Chinese word chongtong, is a piece of light artillery which are found in two types: Eastern-style and Western-style. Eastern-style cetbangs are loaded from the front, typically fire arrow-shaped projectiles, sometimes tipped with explosive or incendiary, and are usually found in fixed mounts on ships or emplacements. On the other hand, Western-style cetbangs are loaded from the breech, fires round projectiles including "case" shots, and are light enough to be man-portable or mounted on swivels or carriages.

I wonder why they didn't just give these guys the Malaysian's military lines from AoE2.
Or record new voice lines for it
Indonesia's first cannon, I'm very proud of my ancestors.
Seems similar to the Leather Cannon, but with a longer range. Not bad. And only 2 population as well.
