Basically I believe that cannons are too far from the technology date as well as the general technology is too late for the real date. Considering the Siege of Costantinopole, where cannons were used extensively or other Eastern World's cannon usage or in the Europen side, after 1430s, usage of cannons in sieges was clearly proper. So I propose increasing the stats of currently first cannons a little (of course the upcoming technologies' cannons too) and addition of a new cannon technology with date of 1440, technology 3 . And also the first 4 (0,1,2,3) technologies must be drew back with the start date of technology 0 to 1300 and the others relatively. And the Limber Technology (current technology 7) can increase cannons' land speed.
I also believe that the muskets are too late too, usage of arquebuses are dated back to 1425 in Ottomans for example. It can be said that usage of arquebuses in Europe is a little bit of late from the Middle East and the East. To really show the effects (capabilities and incapabilities) of muskets, close combat (pike and sword) and musket armies can be added mutually exclusive like how we have Houfnice and Large Cast Bronze Mortar for example. With the Pike and Shot form, they can be incorporated into one (adding new army type and removing the army type from the Professional Officers)
There are huge simplifications and overgeneralisations in the technology of military (in others too but) so it is hard to perfect it. I had more ideas about the muskets but it is even harder to organise them with the current technology system .

What are your opinions? How can this idea be improved?
