I am sorry if I have missed some basic thing and this question sounds silly, but I cant seem to be able to build cannons, although I have built a Bell Foundry. I have picked up Medieval after couple of years and remember well how my artillery smashed unbelievers and was looking forward to bombing fun again.
According to data sheet that came with my copy of the game, i should be able to build mortars and bombards with Bell Foundry, however, there is no such thing in units screen
Am I missing something and some other structures need to be built first? or is it a glitch, and i should try reinstalling the game? I`ve patched version 1.1 of M:TW.

Are you sure your unit data sheet isn't corrupted?
And what faction are you using? and what about your province?

By data sheet I meant that printed list that comes with the game and shows aviable structures and units and necessary "ingredients" for each of them. I assume its the same for everybody?
I`m playing for Italians, first choosing early era and second time choosing High era (for Italians as well). I`ve built Bell Foundry and Cannon Foundry in Venice by now, but no luck with the units themselves. After posting, I found out that gunsmith units dont show up as well. Maybe province needs a certain resource? Like salpetre or something?

I haven't played Medieval for a while (still got some saves left to finish ~:p ) so I might be wrong. I think you can only get canons in late period? Also you can't built firearms until the game announces that gunpowder has been discovered.
I though that in vanilla MTW there was a bug that you couldn't build gunpowder units until late, even though you could build their requirements in high, but I am not 100% sure about that.
Don't know if its a bug, but yes, you need to wait for late period to be able to build them. Which means you probably have to wait about 50 years or so (if you built the foundries right after gunpowder was invented)
I don't know if this is also so with Viking Invasion, since I installed that only recently.
