Elite Cannon Galleon coastal siege line
Elite Cannon Galleon: Elite Cannon Galleons can bombard shore buildings from exceptional range, making them useful when a fleet must attack a Castle or defensive structure without landing first. Their slow projectile and firing cycle limit them against moving ships.
Overview
Elite Cannon Galleon: Elite Cannon Galleons can bombard shore buildings from exceptional range, making them useful when a fleet must attack a Castle or defensive structure without landing first. Their slow projectile and firing cycle limit them against moving ships.
Plan and execution
Use friendly warships to clear the approach and keep Cannon Galleons at a safe firing distance. Focus one building that protects a crossing or enemy Dock, then relocate if the fleet screen is challenged. Use ordinary ships to handle moving naval targets.
Risks and adaptation
Their projectiles are slow and ineffective against maneuvering ships. Do not expose the siege line without a fleet screen or expect it to win a naval fight by itself.
