Horde Smiths (Troy)

Horde Smiths is a horde military building chain in a Total War Saga: Troy, exclusive to Penthesilea's faction.

Description[]

While bronze weapons were exceptionally sturdy even in comparison to iron, they still required great expertise to produce and maintain. They were important status symbols, attesting to the exceptional skill needed to forge them, as well as the rarity of tin, a critical component that had to be imported over vast distances. While bronze blades did not rust, they had a tendency to break or chip, and the metal's malleability meant it lost its edge quicker. All these factors ensured that smiths were held in high regard, as they kept armies supplied with well-maintained, quality weaponry.
