Palace artillery access
Imported Cannons is a Fortress Age African technology at the Palace. It costs 150 Influence, takes 20 seconds and enables Falconets, Culverins and Mortars to be trained there for Influence. Improved Cannon Trade is the next technology. This unlocks production; it does not deliver artillery.
Unlock the artillery the army needs
Research before a planned siege or counter-artillery response, then protect the Palace and its queue. Training still needs time, population and Influence. If the army will not use these weapons, save the resource for other units or upgrades. Imported Cannons is an access upgrade rather than a damage increase.
