I remember CA saying that they were going to implement a force fire option for canon, for the purpose of area-denial. Was that implemented, and if so, how do I do that? That could be really helpful with explosive shells...

They're VERY innacurate, but unlimbered arty will do that.
Alt-rightclick will fire on an area. So turn off fire at will, then alt-rightclick on the area you want to saturate. I was using this playing around last night to demolish enemies with my Organ Gun Army.
Alt-right click. good deal, thanks.Quote:

It doesn't give any indicator of where the cannon is targeting though which is a bit of a pain.
just right clicking works for me and i alwasy use this even if the enemy is out of range of my fixed arty. also i also tend to use it when theres a mass of troops moving towards me. instead of targeting a unit i target an area ahead of them. micro managing this with cnistershot works wonders
I would say it is the best way of avoiding excessive {and silly} friendly fire casualities as an enemy closes on your line {atleast untill/unless the C/A fixes the degree of triggerhappyness in artilery when friendlies are in the way} .Quote:

I think that my arty crews must hate me because they get smacked my cavalry in 1/2 my battles when I don't tell them to cannister soon enough.
