Cannon Galleon

The Cannon Galleon is a ship on Age of Empires II available in the Imperial Age.

As it is a Gunpowder Unit, you can only create Cannon Galleons after you have researched Chemistry from the University. Almost every civilisation can create them, with some notable exceptions being Aztec, Maya and Britons.

They have exceptionally long range. They can outrange Castles and Bombard Towers, so are almost the sea-going equivalent to Bombard Cannons, only faster. They are strong against buildings, but their slow rate of fire makes it weak and ineffective against cavalry and other ships, particularly Fire Ships.
