Smithing

Metal progression, alloys, anvils, bloomery work, iron and steel.

The anvil is where metal becomes progress, if your heat and hammering are disciplined.

Bronze and advanced metals reward planning your ore finds before you melt them.

Iron starts as ore logistics and bloomery discipline before it becomes tools.

Steel is a late-game industry that needs fuel, planning and patience.

Armor is a tradeoff between protection, cost, mobility and repair burden.
