Can't Make Hand Cannoneers

[HitReady]

Hi all, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but for some reason the Hand Cannoneer unit button remains grayed out. I can't produce them and I can't figure out why. I had the resources, every single building and other upgrades were completed, and I had unit capacity.

Is there some trick to it?

[Blegh]

what civ are you?

[dianteforlife]

did you get chemistry? does your civ have handcannoneer? are you in imperial age? are you in a campaign that stops you from producing gunpowder?

Thank you for the follow-up questions! I'm brand new to the series so I'll answer as best I can.

-I was playing Skirmish with whatever default options the game has on Standard difficulty.
-I was playing as Goths.
-I can't remember if I had chemistry available to me, but I did get every upgrade that every building allowed, so if Goths have access to chemistry, I did get it.
-I don't know if Goths have access to the unit, but the unit icon and information did display in the archery range.
-Yes I did reach and upgrade to Imperial Age.

I wasn't in a campaign, but I don't know if Skirmish mode limits any units.

Edit: I also want to mention that I had at least 2,000 of every resource so that wasn't an issue, and none of the unit production requirements were red.

You must've not gotten Chemistry.

Ok, I'll try again tonight and make sure I get chemistry and try again.

Thanks all!
