This feature was removed in the Definitive Edition. However, this will not affect the unit's statistics. If the player is playing with the Portuguese and researches the Rabaulds upgrade at the Artillery Foundry and then revolts, they will get a Gatling Gun with a unique model.In reality, the Gatling gun's final designs were completed in 1862 and the weapon was first fielded for service in 1863 during the American Civil War. The in-game history section mentions the Gatling Gun's invention taking place in 1861.This is slightly anachronistic considering the time period the game and its expansions were set in (between the 1500s and the year 1850). The Gatling Gun unit model visually resembles a Colt 1874 Gatling gun.The Gatling Gun were originally planned to be trained in the Industrial Age instead of by revolting first.

The Gatling Gun has the second fastest rate-of-fire after the Flamethrower, together with the Organ Gun, if every shot from a volley is counted separately.

That was fixed in the Definitive Edition. Originally, the Gatling Gun shared the same portrait as the Organ Gun in-game, even though it had its own portrait in the game files (as seen above) which was used by the 4 Gatling Guns Home City Card in the Revolution Deck.It is avaliable to some revolting civilizations.With update 23511, they cost 100 wood, 250 coin and give 35 XP when trained or killed.With the introduction of the United States, they are also trainable by them.It is avaliable to all revolting civilizations.They cost 100 wood, 300 coin and give 40 XP when trained or killed.
