Sprite.

looks good.
but i am new at this, is a canon too close to a gun?

Do you mean handcannon? According to a source the Handcannon or Handgonne was the first true fire-arm created. So i guess it is a gun.

well there is a Asian unit with a early gun so it could be aseptibal

There are historical accounts various Late Medieval Middle Eastern kingdoms using handcannon mounting camelry. One of such is called Zamburak, deployed ranging from Utsmaniah to Mughals.

Then we could use a change of weapons and name. Zamburak will do good.
I'll change the image to a Swivel gun if you guys are fine with that.

Wait, i think swivel gun is a little modern so i guess we can't use it.

Any late, medieval handcannon on them would do good, Baddy.

Zamburack used a swivel gun, a propper light cannon...not a handgun, zamburak is not a good name for the concept badnorth has...
