Notes[]

  1. Ballistics-like effect without the need to research the technology
  2. At 7 tiles per second instead of the regular 3.5 (unmentioned in the tech tree).
  3. Applies to Hand Cannoneers, Bombard Cannons, and Cannon Galleons. Does not apply to Conquistadors, but they have a base reload time of 2.9, the same as a Spanish Hand Cannoneer.
