Cannon
is the most powerful unit in this game. Because this unit is so powerful, many
people play with no arts. However, I think that handling this powerful unit is
one of the fun in this game. In add-on, the new option, attack ground, made cannons
able to shoot over the wall. By using this, you can able to remove some of the
opponent's army without attacking in to the enemy fortress. This unit can be
used as both defensive and offensive. By using the grapeshot, you are able to
massacre the units charging towards your army. By using the long-range shots,
you can reduce opponent's army size and make it easier to charge.
Cannon
isn't perfect, it has two weak points. First one is that it can be captured. Therefore,
if you delete all the units around the cannon, you can have it. Second is that
it won't shoot if the enemy is so near. To make use of these weak points, make
some mercenary cossacks or other fast moving
Cavalries, to charge quickly, when there aren't any guard, or to approach to
the cannon to stop them from shooting.
