| Mar 1, 2019 at 22:49 | comment | added | JETM | @Agrajag I think it makes sense for them to have a small stockpile of iron and bronze to work with. Someone's about to discover a mine, but that's probably about two weeks in the future. | |

Do they have a usefull but unread hord of scrolls about smelting - for example? | |

| Mar 1, 2019 at 22:18 | comment | added | JETM | @Agrajag Good point. My understanding was that swords were supposed to be harder to make, but I suppose if they have woodworking tools there's no reason they can't have metal weapons for everyone. | |
| Mar 1, 2019 at 22:07 | comment | added | Escaped dental patient. | Hi, you say "A forest just outside provides raw material for construction." - in order to make use of wood as raw materials they require axes, and saws - both of which were available in 3000 BCE, but only because there was metalworking - in which case why are there not many swords? Are you saying they simply can't be bothered to figure out how to make anything? | |
