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.

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

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

Required after use. Clean the Cannon with a Swab.
Use via Cannon Menu:

2.CHARGE

Use a Powder charge type that matches the cannon you want, Light Powder Charge or Heavy Powder Charge. Once you load the corresponding Powder Charge, you can go on to the easy part, loading the cannon.

3.LOAD

Use this option to load Cannonball.png Light Cannonballs or Grapeshot.png Light Grapeshots. The size must match the cannon.
Load a cannon, requires a Ramrod .
See also:

4.PRIME

Once the cannon is charged and loaded, the last thing you need to do is prime it.
Only prime the cannon if you are about to fire.

Once you add the Match and the Fuse Cord to a cannon, you can Fire the cannon!
