    It wasnt just Date and Shimazu. Samurai started to adopt teppo more and more during the end of the period. So they would move on horseback and fight on foot.

    Indeed! I only cited them for some of their unique takes on the weapon. The Hosokawa clan sponsored a smith in Kunimoto who made superb fire arms. :D And Sorin Otomo, the Catholic Daimyo in Kyushu had cannons in his keep. There were lots of gunpowder weapons being used and made, and lots of people were doing work to gain expertise in the field of firearms. A time period of change for sure.

    I hope the gameplay of Shogun 2 will reflect this. :D
