Syracuse (Rise of the Republic) Stratos Tier 1

Iron Over Bronze

In these enlightened times, two types of metal play a significant part in our lives: bronze and iron. We have long been using iron to forge weapons, but bronze remains our preference. Nowadays, despite its brittle nature and variable quality, iron is cheaper and more abundant. We can outfit larger armies for less, and with better quality equipment overall. Iron is good for everything, be they spears, arrow heads, swords and armour; its wide number of practical applications will change the nature of warfare forever.
