Danish artillery shipment and unlock

Espingolen is an Industrial Age Danish Round Church technology requiring the Kongeloven Home City Card. It costs 2,000 Wood and takes 55 seconds. It delivers six Espingols, increases their hit points by 35% and damage by 40%, and enables Espingols to be trained at Forts.

Prepare a protected artillery position

The high Wood cost and long research time suit a planned late-game army, not emergency defense. Reserve population for six artillery units, choose a rally point and protect the Round Church and Forts. The training unlock can sustain production after the initial delivery, but requires additional resources and safe buildings.
