Check the live Pixel Conquest artillery action before buying a cannon. Its displayed price is 50K early in a match and 500K later, so an opening-price budget can be wrong for your next purchase. Read the action, intended location and current building details together.
A cannon icon, a circular overlay and nearby projectiles are visible during play. Use them to inspect the encounter; do not turn the circle into an exact range measurement or assign every nearby projectile to the cannon automatically.
Find Artillery in the action bar
The action is labeled Artillery and uses a cannon icon. R is shown as its desktop-style keyboard hint. Follow the controls presented on your device rather than assuming the same input works on every platform.
Keep this action separate from Defense. They have different labels and icons, and selecting one does not establish the effect of the other. Read the current information for the specific building you intend to place.
Before confirming, inspect the target location and the available action there. A building icon in someone else’s territory is not a substitute for checking where your own purchase will go.
Budget from the current price
| Menu state | Displayed Artillery price | Useful decision |
|---|---|---|
| Early example | 50K | Compare the live label with your current budget |
| Later example | 500K | Reassess the purchase rather than assuming the earlier price |
These two amounts show that the price can change. They do not establish that every added cannon multiplies the cost by a fixed amount or provide all later prices.
Check the Artillery action again after each purchase. If you are choosing between a cannon and another building, read both prices before deciding what to buy first.
Do not justify the cost with a damage-per-Gold calculation unless the current building information supplies the required damage details. A menu price alone does not tell you how much damage the cannon will deal.
Inspect the placed cannon and overlay
After acting, locate the cannon on the map and read its current information. Check the resulting building rather than assuming a selection alone completed placement.
A circular overlay can help you see what the interface is highlighting. Inspect its meaning in the current building details before treating it as a single-purpose attack radius. The visible circle does not establish an exact numerical range or all conditions for firing.
Nearby orange projectiles are part of coastal and naval combat. Read the whole encounter rather than assigning every shot to one structure from its position alone. Ships and other coastal structures can also be present.
Reassess the encounter after buying
Watch the map, target information and any changing vessel health bars after buying. Check how the battle develops before making another purchase.
If you intend the cannon to address a specific threat, check its stated target behavior before relying on that result. Do not assume a guaranteed ship counter, firing cooldown or target priority from the icon.
Read Army and selected TROOPS before the next attack, even if you have just bought Artillery. The amount you can spend on a building does not tell you how many troops you can commit.

The action can show 50K early and 500K later. Read the current label before purchasing.
What keyboard hint is shown for Artillery?
The desktop-style action bar shows R. Use the controls displayed on your device.

Do not assume that from appearance alone. Ships and coastal structures can share the encounter, so inspect the actual attacker and target information.
