Bit of a problem. I have built the bell foundry, and have passed into the gunpowder age, yet I can't build bombards. In the artillery pieces section of the units guide that came with the game, the bell foundry is listed as the prerequisite building for the bombard. What have I missed? Why is it I can't build any bombards?

Cheers

Only Catholic & Orthodox factions can buils bombards Muslim factions build mortars & I just checked on my current English campain and a bell foundry is all you require. So if you are playing as a Cath or Orth faction I don't know.

I'm playing as the Spanish. Could this be a glitch or bug?

If you're playing v1.1 then you can't get gunpowder units until late period (1320).

Ah, that would be it then. It seems I am about 40 years to early for that. Cheers for clearing that up http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/cheers.gif

It would be much more logic of you can get bombards in high, after building the bell foundry, so I suggest changing that
