2. Noone actually used gunpowder weapons, nor artillety in the middle east.
3. Every arrow shot from an archer, equipped with any kind of bow and skill and so on, deals the same damage as every other archer with different equipment. Same goes for javelins.

Hand cannons were used in China and thru Middle East they came into Europe. But the mod ends in 1400. There was no extensive usage of hand cannons before that date and even after it. That's why implementing some gun armed unit wasn't worth the trouble for BC team, I guess.O rly? Then why we don't have any muskets ingame?

« There is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and there is no virtue in advocating it.
A politician who portrays himself as 'caring' and 'sensitive' because he wants to expand the government's charitable programs is merely saying that he's willing to try to do good with other people's money. Well, who isn't?
And a voter who takes pride in supporting such programs is telling us that he'll do good with his own money - if a gun is held to his head.» - P. J. O'Rourke
