Maybe, but that doesn't make it a more honourable weapon, just traditional.

Re: Gunpowder weapons in STW2
Well few honoured the traditions very much. Ofcourse not over practicality of things, but still a skilled paractitioner of Yabusame was by far more looked up upon compared to a rank and file Ashigaru with his teppo matchlock.Originally Posted by Ja'chyra

The Teppo should be in it, for sure. And I would like to see some form of cannon.

AFAIK firearms were speedily adopted by most Clans, but when the Sengoku Jidai ended with the new Shogunate, they were outlawed as Japan essentially turned in on itself, reverted to traditions and rejected (or severely limited & controlled) external/foreign influences -such as gunpowder weapons.
Re: Gunpowder weapons in STW2
This is true. But it wouldn't last forever. Manufacturing of the native Teppo was important, and knowlege of it must be maintained. So though it was cut down and made much more limited.... they would go into production again. In the Boshin war samurai fought with traditional weapons and modern ones. (After our Civil war.) So the Samurai of both West and East, (North and South) met again, this time with the old teppo, rifles, and gattling guns. XD The Meiji saw victory over the Tokugawa shogunate, but would yet turn opon the Samurai that helped it claim rule over the land. Outlawing the samurai class, and fighting former allies like Saigo Tagomori in Satstuma.
Btw... what does it feel like to feel qwerty? (You gotta know what it is to know if you know you know.) XD
