The Ribauldequin was a medieval version of the volley gun.

More esoteric designs, like the multi-barrel ribauldequin, were also built.

As an early type of multiple barrel firearm, the ribauldequin is sometimes considered the predecessor of the 19th century mitrailleuse.

In addition, three new factions were added to the main Medieval: Total War campaign, along with ribauldequin artillery and the game's patch.

See Ribauldequin.

The first known ribauldequin was used by the army of Edward III of England in 1339 in France during the Hundred Years' War.

A Ribauldequin, also known as a rabauld, ribault, ribaudkin, infernal machine or organ gun, was a late medieval volley gun with many small-caliber iron barrels set up parallel on a platform, in use during the 14th and 15th centuries.

The collection also includes a ribauldequin from the year 1678, the so-called death organ, which was constructed by the Imperial gun founder Daniel Kollmann, and represents an attempt to manufacture a quick-firing gun for the Imperial Army.

A special edition version of Empire: Total War entitled Special Forces incorporates six elite faction-specific units: HMS Victory, the French Irish Brigade, Spanish guerillas, Gurkha infantry, Rogers' Rangers and the Ottoman Ribauldequin.
