Smelter's House is a building chain in a Total War Saga: Troy. These resource buildings can only be built in bronze-making settlements.
Description[]
Most metals occur in nature primarily as minerals and require smelting to separate them from other components such as silica and alumina. The ores are first roasted in open air to produce oxides, then heated at high temperatures to turn them into metal. While the elements required to create bronze were known as far back as 5500 BC, it took three thousand years until the discovery of the alloy, created by combining copper and tin to form a sturdier, easier-to-cast substance that would revolutionise warfare around the Aegean and beyond.
