Can someone help me please?

Is it possible to use the editor to make the following changes?

1. Convert cannon to a unit that can move and fire in the same turn?
2. Increase the rate of successful bombardment.
3. Increase the damage done.

I have had 6 cannon bombarding a Chinese city for 6 turns and the only result has been a reduction of two pop. It took 10 turns to move the cannon and its escort there.

During that time frame I have six cavalry that have taken and razed 4 or 5 Chinese cities.

Unless there is a way to increase cannon's effectiveness by a factor of three or four I can see no point in having them in the game at all.

I know that someone may respond with the old "use them in stacks of 15 or so and they will keep your assaulting units from taking damage" line, but please!

In the time it takes to build and move 15 cannon .........lol

The solutions are:

1. Increase movement to two.
2. Increase bombardment strength.
3. Increase rate of fire.
