I guess he is translating from French to English even though the word is the same in both languages: petard

Maybe be more patient, but anyway petards are very situational, I can only tell you what I know: they are usually not worth their cost, but if you scout a FI you may want to use them with a few units to accompany...
For more information about petards' stats check out http://ageofempires.wikia.com/wiki/Petard_(Age_of_Empires_III)

on Topic: yeah pikilic is right, i use them a lot though, on my level (nub) its really easy to bring down wonders or TCs here and there with petards for raids/to prevent unit pops from a spawn point, in those cases it is worth the additional ressource cost.

As said above, they're a very situational unit. Sometimes I use them against turtle strategies to break town center/fort defense. Some important numbers to remember are that it takes 6 to kill tc and 5 to nearly kill fort (I believe fort lives with 300~ hp) so having 10 or so units to finish off the fort is very helpful. I've faced people who start janissary/6 petard with Ottoman to take down tc real fast

sorry dude, takes 5 to take down a towncenter, ive done that a million times, and even when only 4 explode you still can siege it down super quickly as it only has 100HP left (petard deals 1600 siege damage). also a fort has more HP than a town center (fort has 8500 HP w/out upgrades, town center 6500HP w/out upgrades i think..)

Not sure this is quite what you're looking for, but I know that people have been known to use the petards from the Brit consulate in China mirrors. H20 lost a tournament match to acergame that way.
