Artillery Upgrades
 

 

Research improved additions to gunpowder formula

Using various additions to improve gunpowder combustion efficiency allowed increasing range of artillery fire. However, this method permitted only a slight improvement, as further intensification of detonation resulted in destruction of a cannon barrel.

Location: Academy
Availability: Becomes available after building an Artillery Depot
Action: Researching improved additions to gunpowder formula allows increasing artillery range of fire by 5%. After researching this technology, your artillery (Cannons, Mortars, Howitzers, Multi-barreled Cannons, vessels, Towers) will fire 5% farther. For instance, this will allow your Cannons shelling enemy Cannons while they cannot return fire yet. This technology does not affect handgun-shooting units.
