Goldsmith is a building chain in a Total War Saga: Troy. These resource buildings can only be built in gold mining settlements.

Description[]

Although it lacks the practical properties of iron or bronze, gold has remained a subject of fascination throughout human history. Too soft to be used for weapons or tools, the precious metal was employed for decorative purposes, flattened into thin sheets and used for plating swords and armour. Artefacts recovered from Mycenaean sites suggest that the goldsmiths of the Late Bronze Age were highly skilled, creating pieces of jewellery and adorning hilts with intricate patterns. Many nobles and heroes were buried with golden relics, signifying their worth even centuries after their deaths.
