Iron Working Civ1

Iron Working is one of 67 Civilization 1 Advances in MicroProse's TBS Game of 1991, Civilization 1.

Iron Working allows:

• Legion
• Bridge Building (with Construction)
• Gunpowder (with Invention)

Iron Working prerequisites:

• Bronze Working

Building on the experience of their Bronze Working, ancient smelters learned Iron Working, the manufacture and fabrication of a much more useful metal. Iron ore was extremely common compared to copper and tin, and Iron was harder, less brittle, and could hold a much sharper edge. It was an ideal material for tools and weapons. Some observers consider the development of Iron Working to have been a key step in the advance of civilization. It made workers much more efficient and was found useful in many new applications.
