In the game's words
How to use it
The Cannon Boat is a unique African vessel available in the Fortress Age. Cannon Boats are equipped with a single cannon mounted at the prow, and excel at bombarding fortifications but have a low rate of fire and are vulnerable to other warships.
History
Though relatively late to arrive on the scene in sub-Saharan African warfare, artillery – however rare – could be used to great effect. While impactful on land, its appearance also sparked a decline in the dominance of coastal fortresses as nigh-impregnable strategic bastions. When mounted on warships, cannons could obliterate coastal fortifications.
