    Default Gunpowder ?

    I Know the Timeline of the Mod does not reach the point when gunpowder was adopted in mass in the Middle-East, Central Asia and India but i know that at least the Seljuk Turks of Rum (Ottoman Empire in the Future) have early types of cannon's and firearms and use them in the siege of Constantinople (Istanbul). I Know the Timeline get's as far as the 1400's. Correct me if i am wrong.

    As far I know BC will end in 1300 AD so no Ottoman.
    Firearms in Middle East probably firstly appeared in battle of Ain Jalut in 1260 (Mamluks used hand cannons) but Mongols were using firearms during invasion of Japan, China campaign and campaign in Europe so It's use is also likely during Middle East campaign (although It is only my supposition).

    Ohh i was thinking it ended at 1400 AD still at least the most primitive of firearms should appear. And you are right the Mamluks use hand cannons against the Mongols but at what scale i don't know.

    There could be some firearms present but they would be relatively ineffective though Mongols certainly used them the heaviest of BC factions and perhaps Mameluks it is so near end of timeline it does not bother me if its not present.
