Thank you for the information! I would guess that we can't keep firing the same Elf Jars each time, so the first time firing the cannon one would need a count of at least 27, the second time 54, the third time 81, etc. Otherwise there's no other way to know if the cannon is full. There seem to be plenty of elves flying about, so as long as we sign in often and keep tapping, we should be ok!

PS: visitors should be sure to tap the cannon and/or the Elf Tunnel, it available, as they pay out bells to the town's owner. Otherwise, it's just a handshake.

It's 9 each time (27 = 9*3 but the upgrades might go to 10, or 11) and any elves you fire disappear from the count just make sure you always have the max number of elves already bottled up because if you clear the handshake on a cannon that's ready to fire it'll fire once (when the cannon is ready you'll see a lit fuse --the handshake covers most of it)...basically though as long as you clear your town of new elves fairly regularly you should be fine for the cannon (depending on the upgrades)

Basically just use these early stages to bank elves
