Loading and firing cannons

Overview

The use of cannons on ships are introduced with the High Seas booster. Different types of Galleons may mount various numbers of cannon. Cannon may be dismantled and removed from a ship.

Crafting

There are two types of cannons that can be crafted by Blacksmiths:

Unknown

  • Unknown cannon.png

Unknown type of cannon, please enter source/description

Ammunition

There are two types of cannon ammunition, also crafted by Blacksmiths, for each cannon type:

Light Ship Cannon Heavy Ship Cannon
Light Cannonball Heavy Cannonball
Light Grapeshot Heavy Grapeshot

Cannon ammunition is crafted by Blacksmiths. Cannons can only be loaded with one ammunition type at a time. They can be dismantled from the ship.

Placing Cannons

In order to place a cannon on a Ship you need to look for a yellow, bullet shaped outline on the side or near the front of the Ship. Double click your Light ship cannon deed.png cannon deed and then target the yellow bullet region and if you are close enough to the region a cannon will be placed.


Operation

Once you have your cannons placed on your Ship, you can use them by one of two methods: By context menu or by double clicking the cannon itself.


If you use the context menu you can do things somewhat faster, where double clicking on a cannon gives you a pop-up menu, which might be better for a dedicated cannon worker. Also, if you hover over a cannon, a Tooltip will inform you on its status.

There are four main actions for each cannon on your ship:
1.Clean, 2.Charge, 3.Load, and 4.Prime.
Each action must be completed in order.

1.CLEAN
