What is Cannon Time?
In Rise of Nations there is something called "Cannon Time" I've tried to find out what it means but haven't come across anything.
All I know is that it tries to activate when you hit the backspace button. What is Cannon Time?
Edit: What is it's use in RoN?
Best Answer
Cannon time is bullet time but without the associated copyright infringements. It's essentially a toggle-able "slow motion" mode.

Answer 2
Because usually players pause the screen and make actions since RoN being a RTS, it is difficult to keep track of several things at once. Slow motion mode essentially is like a pause and it is my view that the developers at RoN want us to use this mode instead of pausing because the game music resets everytime I pause whereas doesn't happen with this mode.
