Musket/Arquebus question

once you get these weapons from the Dutch, can you cancel off relations with them and make your own arquebueses/muskets?

I don't think there's a way to cancel the 'relations' off in an 'official' way. You certainly need their trading post to be able to train musks/arq's.

awe, that's contradictory to history, a smith traded his daughter in marrige to a Dutch guy, and got the secret of gun making, then they showed up everywhere,and they supposedly were better made than the European ones.Nobunaga had 3,000 at Nagashino I believe :P

You can build a gun factory which gives you higher quality muskets...can't remember if it allows you to build your own though.

hmm, I'll test it, that sounds more like history

it is possible to destroy the trading post and reject the dutch / portuguese by declining there offer next time they wisit .. whit gun factory it is possible to train ashigaru whit teppo ... but destroy the port and you loose 200 koku income :( ... so better keep it, as the gun factory is too hard to get : need citadel legendary armory .. to much for only +1 honor ...
