Deploy cannons
Five seconds to deploy; five seconds to pack up.
Military artillery, unicorn cannons and space artillery rovers can deploy. Select them and choose Deploy cannons. They cannot move or fire during the five-second transition. Deployed cannons remain stationary and gain triple normal damage and double normal range, retaining line-of-sight rules. A gold stabilizer/anchor marker shows deployment. Pack up takes five seconds without firing before movement resumes. Pause freezes the timer. Dragons, living hive siege and other equipment outside this explicit list cannot deploy. Grouping, splitting and era changes preserve deployment state. Available in solo and multiplayer.
