With the introduction of The Conquerors, the Hand Cannon technology was removed from the game, meaning that Hand Cannoneers become available once Chemistry is researched.
In addition to Hand Cannon, the Bombard Cannon technology was also scrapped in The Conquerors. The Cannon Galleon technology was scrapped in update 47820, meaning that Cannon Galleons only need Chemistry. Bombard Tower is the only Gunpowder technology which still needs to be researched.
