Armourer (Troy)

Armourer is a building chain in a Total War Saga: Troy. These resource buildings can only be built in bronze-making settlements.

Description[]

The discovery and spread of bronze around 3200 BC had a profound impact on warfare all around the Aegean. The alloy, made from combining copper with tin, remained the hardest metal available until the invention of steel centuries later, and was easier to melt and cast than pure iron. Its usage by weaponsmiths allowed the creation of lighter and more durable spearheads and armour, and led to the design of sturdier swords, called 'grip-tongue', that could slash through enemy protection without breaking at the hilt.
