S2 Early Gunnery

Do you want to Conquer Japan by the power of guns like Nobunaga did, but can't because researching guns takes too much time? Worry no longer, with this mod, by mid-campaign you'll be able to put a Pike-and-Shot army Nobunaga would proud of.

Many modders has tried to make Matchlock units earlier to recruit, but failed or taking the hard unit replacement way because of how the technology requirement for units are structured. Then one modder, Emperor, came and just say "if we can't change the tech requirement, just move the tech" and he did.

However, some might not like his turn-one mod and like a more conservative mod, which still need some efforts from the player to research the tech. This mod is by myself as one of them, for them all.

As you can see in the screenshots, the Attack by Fire and Matchlock Mastery has been moved far up the chain, with less steps required to reach it.
