The Age of Steam

gowia: Rifles are fairly widespread (to keep it a little more steam punky) though muskets are just as common. If you got a lot of their farm land in a peace deal then yes. I say peace deal simply because I don;t want anyone actually completely annexed
Doge Duck: So
Doge Duck: People with Professional Army likely have Rifles for most of there soldiers
Doge Duck: But outdated would have muskets
gowia: Yes that is about right...though if someone with outdated wants bows instead thats fine...

The Age of Steam

Anyone who has Professional Army is likely using rifles for there infantry, anyone with out-dated is probably stuck on muskets, and without either they probably have a mix.

The Age of Steam

Theres still a few other issues though
First bows require a lot of frigging training, where with muskets/rifles you can gather some citizens and give them a few weeks worth of training.
And second, with a decent industrial base its relatively easy to produce muskets/rifles.

The Age of Steam

Its always easy to say that since things developed differently on Edoniras that rifles were recognized as superior
And even then I doubt bows are more accurate then muskets.

The Age of Steam

But we have both, and most people are going to be using rifles.

Musket man maybe able to outrange a longbow man, but they are inaccurate, and slow to reload, as well as causing a lot of smoke and a chance of blowing the gunner up. Rifles, are better than bows in most respects, but are only issued to about one in fifty people in the current era. So, while a one vs one in an open plain might not work well, but a hundred vs a hundred would be against the musketeer's favour, since a bowman can loose about three arrows to a single musket ball.

The trouble is the reason bows were phased out in the first place, rifles and muskets have a longer range. The bow man is dead before he gets to loose. Rifles are more accurate than bows too

Gowia is currently working on doing rolls and such, so you should all get ready.
