    Yes, i've seen the AI do port raids in MI. It was in a Shimazu camp. and the mori landed in Chikugo at the first 2-3 years of teh camp. essentially they tried to rush me. They got their emmissary there and suddenly landed out of nowhere - it was a bit of a surprise.

    There is now the "Gold" version in dvd-rom (Warlord's edition i think its called) cogre, available pretty cheaply that has STW/MI.

    The expansion also introduces certain unbalances in the orignal units and their stats, most notably the guns are increased 300% in power (from power=4 to power=16) which means they can stop cav charges while they were not intended to do so and can't in the original, but thankfully their stats can be modified in a txt file.

    Here is a veteran player's suggestion how to do so:

    Its fun at first but wears off pretty quickly imo - but of course each to his own. You can mod the arquebusiers to bekillers in MTW though ;)

    I do feel musketry wasn't quite well represented in MTW but since it finished in 1453 muskets weren't quite as advanced. Still, those siege cannons Muslim factions have are killer! Love them!

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    The musket wasn't really invented during the timeframe. MTW's timeframe encompassed the handgun and arquebus which were earlier smoothbore firearms that were not as widely adopted as the later muskets. In view of this the representation in the game is probably ok, not perfect, but maybe good enough.
