Iron/en: Difference between revisions

Acquiring iron tools and the means to produce iron is referred to as entering the "Iron Age". Iron has several advantages over bronze in item durability and efficiency, but also the availability of iron ore as compared to the metals needed to create bronze. On the other hand, iron is harder to work with as it cannot be cast, only smithed. Additionally, iron ingots require a more complicated process to make, and requires players to find a good source of fire clay as well as produce large quantities of high-temperature fuel.
