If I recall (I admit it has been a while since I've played either III or IV), "artillery" units could only fire 1 or 2 squares away. (Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong.)
Near the end-game, there was the tactical nuke, but that was launched directly at the target. Technically it was "long range," but you only had one go at your target. It was more of a movement mechanism than it was an attacking mechanism.
I think the artillery changes in V are going to be more along the lines of 2 or more tiles away. I dunno, maybe 4 or 5 tiles away even. I think that would be a game-changer compared to the old way.
