Artillery

Overview
Artillery is a tank type unit that can be produced from Forts. Artillery must first be researched. Artillery can only target enemy buildings, meaning that it is vulnerable to other units. Artillery must be stationary to attack.

Usage
Artillery is generally used to destroy thick layers of defense near a plant or base. They have the longest range of any unit in the game; use this to your advantage to pick off the enemy forts and turrets that are defending a base. It can also hit enemy Headquarters and Command Centers without being within range of the defenses. But there is a catch, these have relatively low hp and speed and they can easily be destroyed by enemy soldiers if the player is not careful, so when using these to destroy a large number of fortifications, use escorts to go with them (These can range from Heavy Soldier to Heavy Tank).

On some maps, such as City vs Nature, it is able to hit oil rigs. This can be useful to attack enemies' oil rigs if your navy isn't strong enough.

Strategies

 * This unit can shoot any defensive tower from outside the range of that defensive tower, making it one of the strongest units in the game if you don't have the troops to counter it.
 * It has low health for its massive damage, so to be careful keep an army of some sort guarding it and keep this in the back.

Trivia

 * The Artillery has been in all of the games of The Conquerors.
 * Artillery has a longer range than any defensive building's.
 * The AI's Artillery in survival does not need to be stationary to attack.
