Ore Smelter (Troy)

Ore Smelter is a building chain in a Total War Saga: Troy. These resource buildings can only be built in quarry settlements.

Description[]

As gold naturally occurs as veins running through rocks, its primary method of collection in the Late Bronze Age involved quarrying and heating large pieces of ore, then crushing them to pan the resulting sand. The refined metal could then be melted and combined to be cast in clay or stone moulds, giving it the desired shape. It could also be flattened into sheets, which artisans used to plate other materials such as bronze, adding a dramatic flair to armour, weapons, and other prized crafts.
