didn't some one manage to become friend with a giant some years before
i was just re-reading this for like the 11th time or something and remember that the Rumor section have something about some guy manage to get a wandering giant on his side
i don't think we have Titan cannon research yet and Hell-hammer Cannon aren't a thing either, so i doubt that thing is do-able right now for the Empire

To be fair there are very few cases when we would need to. But it would also be a fleet killer since it could basically point at any enemy ship and go "You! Stop existing"

You are thinking of count Fuerbacks son Aloys. He somehow convinced a gaint to work for Talabecklamd, presumably with lots of thunderwater.

Hey @torroar , I have an idea right now we have a massive heavily armed and well trained militia that is completely loyal to Freddy hero of Ostland and slayer of the everliving but my point is what will keep them loyal when Magnus inherits leadership of the province while the militia sergeants are a good measure I don't think it's enough without there massive loyalty Freddy , so my idea is to build on the militia sergeants by founding the Ostland reserve army
The Ostland reserve army would have the responsibility of overseeing the large heavily armed well trained militia and making sure they don't become the well trained heavily armed rebels or worse cultists , the army would also coordinate with the clergy to keep out the influence of proscribed deities .
The army of the reserve would recruit directly from the most experienced and fit of the militia making sure that new troops are already blooded and transfer these newly recruited state troopers to the other armies of Ostland when ever they are needed to recover from losses or be expanded

We basically have one of these scaled to Ogres instead of Giants. So still huge, but smaller. I'm not sure we even could field this thing without a giant to handle it.
Bear it in mind for if we're ever lucky enough to get our own friendly giant, but for now we'd be better served focusing on the ironblaster.

Honestly, think that several Titan Cannons are worth more than just a few giant-sized cannons. The only friendly giant in Empire at this time that we know of works for Talabecland and we are not on best terms with them.
Titan Cannons, like their Ironblaster inspiration, can still be hauled around by enough horses or ogres themselves while also being loaded and used by said ogres (though engineers likely on hand to maintain it and artillery men to aim the thing).
I imagine a full broadside of Titan Cannons can totally wipe out an advancing attack and what is behind it.
Also we can mount many of them on larger parts of walls for Wolfenburg to make city even harder nut to crack.
Aside from being the legitimate elector count, militia wages might've been a factor for their loyalty.
There are probably also other popular measures, like the yearly Hohenzollern donations to the Shallyans providing Healthcare to the province. And less popular measures, like the Witch Hunters purging cultists from the militia(and anywhere else they find signs of unsanctioned worship).
Militia service is a defensive duty in cases where the home village gets attacked or there is a national crisis though. Trying to get them bloodied sounds like stacking an obligation to venture out into the woods and deliberately seek trouble on top of their normal obligation to defend their home town. Which is the sort of thing that can make said armed, trained and blooded militia rather unhappy with the current regime.

the militia would already be blooded as beastmen raids ,greenskin attacks and bandits are semi regular event there is a reason no village in the empire stays a village unless it at least has a palisade , no need to send them looking for trouble it already comes to them

I think it was stated some were ( I don't remember were) that the only reason they don't get rid of it is cause they dont know how as for how the cannon came to be in the first place , I dont think it was ever mentioned

Middenheim was build by the teutogen with the help of the dwarfs refugees, so maybe the canon was build by them ?
i mean that would make sense but i have no proof
I think the front page gives an in-universe answer to both those questions.
Current interpretation means it might not have always been the interpretation. And might not remain the interpretation.

Yeah it has lots of forests, but we do most of our fighting in the bits where it's not forests, which is why our pikes and horses and doomspheres are good. Plus we can sell them.

Torroar already said this some time ago, War Wagon tech is obsolete so it was retire, there some modify version of it still being use but it technically dead unless he change his mind and have people in universe take it out of retirement

What replaced it? I can't think of anything in our roster that combines the war wagon's speed with the firepower of guns.

War Wagons got replaced by Pistoliers. The only way we could bring them back is if we invent Morters or the Hellblaster Volley Guns and proceed to mount them on said War Wagons. Could maybe do the same with Great Cannons?
Not that it matters as we never had war wagons to begin with and have yet to have an option to add Pistoliers or even Horse Archers to our armies. That might change since we have invested some actions into horse breeding.
TBF most of our land is utter shite for Cavalry of all types and War Wagons given most of it is forest and what isn't is either mountains or ruff ground, with a small area in which we're breeding horses. I mean Skirmish Cavalry might not be a complete waste of an investment but I doubt we'll ever field anything heavier than Light Cavalry, baring what ever Heavy/Shock Cavalry we get from the Knightly Orders based in our province.
Edit: Maybe Monstrous Cavalry might be a good idea since they offset the terrain debuffs by being killing machines or Flying Cavalry since they quite understandably mostly ignore terrain. Both are rather expensive to recruit and maintain though.

Well we could make a version designed to deploy Doomspheres, that way we can perform flanking Doomsphere attacks.

If we do come up with giant cannon emplacement on some of our more fortified places then it would give us a good reason to research locomotives since even if we can't use those for long range travel it would make it a hell lot easier to load and reload such giant cannon with a city wide trolley system able to more easily transport giant heavy ammunition across the towns they are set up in.

Train tracks aren't viable in Ostland until the forest is burned to the ground.
