I just realized that Gunpowder Units cannot be promoted with Shock. Does that mean Praets can still be useful vs early Renaissance AI without mounted units? Also, will this change your view on Janissaries?
I'm fairly certain most long time players know that gunpowder can't get shock promotion. I don't think this changes the situation for Jannisarries since they could never get shock anyway. They have innate 25% vs melee units so shock is kinda built into them. A combat promo or two and they are great stack defenders and even city raiders if you rush gunpowder and give cover promotion.
