Galeón Cañonero Élite

Elite Cannon Galleons have an exceptionally long range and deal bonus damage against buildings. They can outrange Castles and Bombard Towers, so they are almost the sea-going equivalent to Bombard Cannons, only being slightly faster. They deal huge damage, but their slow rate of fire and very slow projectile speed makes it weak and ineffective against Galleons and other ships, particularly Fire Ships. Compared to its predecessor, the Elite Cannon Galleon has +30 hit points, +10 attack, +75 anti-building attack, +2 pierce armor, +2 range, and +0.05 blast radius. Elite Cannon Galleons should be always deployed with an escort, most likely Fire Ships and Galleons. As they outrange Towers and Castles, Elite Cannon Galleons must almost always be used for dealing with such structures that deal bonus damage against ships. Generally speaking, Elite Cannon Galleons should only be used to clear the shoreline off enemy buildings, and not be put against enemy ships. Spanish Elite Cannon Galleons are significantly better than the ones of all other civilizations, because their projectiles are much faster (7 tiles/second instead of 3 tiles/s) and hit moving targets with Ballistics-like behavior (the Ballistics research is not required). They also fire 18% faster since update 42848.
