[Suggestion] Flintlock Weaponry Addition
Icarus is all about going through different technological stages but when it comes to firearms you just jump straight to modern firearms opposed to going from basic flintlocks to more modern weaponry. Ideally a musket and flintlock pistol would be great, you’d just have to tweak advanced ammunition to use copper, iron and gunpowder while flintlocks would just use iron and gunpowder. It would just make sense from a technology perspective since you go through multiple tiers with every other weapon and tool.

ZogTheHogI think this is a great idea (although the time and intricacy of a flintlock is sort of silly, maybe percussion cap or some other rudimentary rifle) or possibly just making the basic bolt action available at level 20, with the hunting rifle still being at 30.
I think it would be nice to see increased damage starting with the longbow and then the other bows, so that maybe with the right talents and stealth a bow can be just as deadly as a gun (bears I'm looking at you.) I think having both weapon types really be viable would reduce the overarching need to get the gun, and both weapon paths could be as close to equal as possible.
