Any gunpowder units in KoH?

I do hope so....

-- Some scholars attribute the invention of firearms to an early 14th-century German monk named Berthold Schwarz. In any case they are frequently mentioned in 14th-century manuscripts from many countries, and there is a record of the shipment of guns and powder from Ghent to England in 1314.--

No, we dont have gunpowder in the game. KoH is set in a time where gunpowder was non existent or not common enough.

This is pretty OK, since gunpowder only really came into use in the mid 1400s. By that time warfare had changed quite a lot anyway. In the 1300s, they were only really weapons of fear, and hardly used at that.

Gunpowder kind'a destroys the whole knight idea-its a little unfair so i'm happy that gunpowder will not exist in KoH!

Only really important gunpowder unit in late 14th and early 15th century was IMHO bombard, so it would be nice to see at least that in the game.

A very interesring battle report about the use of gun powder at the end of the medieval era.

Personally, I think it's good this game doesnt have gun. The name of this game is Knights of Honor and gun caused the downfall of the knights...
