During the Age of Exploration, naval battles were frequent occurrences in maritime trade, and cannons were very important weapons in these battles. Therefore, they are also a key focus in the game. Today, let's talk about the cannons in the Age of Exploration. The cannons in the game have many different classifications, and you need to choose based on their characteristics. Let's take a closer look at what they are.

First, let's look at the most basic cannons and heavy cannons. These two types are used in the early stages, and both have the lowest range and power. They will be quickly phased out after the initial use. Subsequent types include enhanced heavy cannons and light long-barreled cannons. The characteristic of enhanced heavy cannons is that they have more power than heavy cannons, with greater damage. Light long-barreled cannons are slender, with a smaller caliber and a longer range. There are also higher quality cannons, such as purple-quality long-barreled cannons and smoothbore cannons, and orange-quality high-efficiency smoothbore cannons and howitzers. These all belong to the common cannon types, which fire cannonballs.

In addition, there are some special types of cannons, such as the Titan, which has extremely high power damage and is a double-barreled type. It can achieve a range of 320 and 80 penetration, making it one of the top-tier weapons currently. There are also the Bar-y Cannon and Chain Cannon, which are chain-shot types and can use chain shot. Another category is the grape-shot cannons, like the Pluto and Reaper, which use grape shot and excel in explosive effects. There are also some special cannon types, such as flame cannons and smoke cannons, suitable for different combat needs.

When choosing these cannons, consider the characteristics of your ship and your battle habits. If you prefer close combat, then choose those with a short range but high power, so you can engage in melee combat right after firing a round. If you prefer long-range shooting, then select cannons with a long range, which makes it easier to maneuver against enemies. These cannons can be produced by yourself or purchased directly in transactions.

After reading this introduction, you should now have a clear understanding of the cannons in the Age of Exploration. After learning the recipes for making cannons, you can produce them yourself. Besides using them, you can also sell them directly in transactions, as cannons are popular items, with high-quality ones being particularly expensive.
