T'ien Ch'i Gunpowder Theme idea

*Scratches head* How long would it take for these guys to reload their guns? Saw a show on Discovery that mentioned that trained crossbowyers were lucky to get two shots a minute since reloading took so long.

I'm also confused by the low accuracy of these weapons. Since there's no "Hold and Fire" command they might well be more dangerous to your own troops than any other archer unit in the game.

Wasn't the repeating crossbow only good for seven shots? It oughto be treated as a real crossbow though rather than a shortbow. It wasn't that much faster or weaker than a european "light" crossbow. I say give it one attack a turn + armor piercing but smaller ammunition.
