I couldn't agree more, muskets don't belong in castle, nor do cannons fot
that matter. But since the ninja theme came with 'gunpowder' I figure you
just keep
the traditional castle away from fuedal japan, except for the occasional
encounter.
Didn't the chineese invent gun powder around 1250 (braveheart era), but it
didn't take hold for a long time, and when it did, europeans were all over
it actually selling the idea back to asian dynasties? (kind of a run-on,
but you get what I mean)
