Cannon losses should be unrecoverable

[VetMax]

Well, cannon losses should be unrecoverable to some degree. In year 1600 you can see major european AI armies with 15k cannon soldiers and 25k others. A lot of cast iron to drag right? If you defeat this army it will restore it's cannons in 3 months. It should be more like a fleet losses. With defeated army evacuating its cannons before loosing organisation. Otherwise it should end like The Siege of Vienna.

Have you seen how much money an artillery regiment sucks down when it's regenerating?

Your cannons start to take losses when your organisation is already low. Then you loose the battle and autoretreat. And you evac most of cannons intact. But if you run for your life without any organisation how can you evac a huge number of cannons?

I think it neatly balances out how you can't capture cannons from enemies you defeat.
