The Steel Ovens
One of my provinces has a feature called The Steel Ovens. It has the following effects:
* Produces 75 resources * Construction Bonus: 20 The resources part is a no-brainer, but the contruction bonus? Is magic item forging cheaper in the province, magic crystal-wise? |
Re: The Steel Ovens
Yes. Contruction rituals will also be cheaper. Battle spells...I'm not sure, but I don't think they gain a benefit.

Re: The Steel Ovens
Congrats, the steel ovens, or any other construction bonus site is considered to be one of the most powerful sites. (Everybody forges).
In MP defend it well, never tell any other players you have it. |
Re: The Steel Ovens
Ever had the ultimate gateway and steel oven in provinces adjacent to each other? It's both good fun and a game winner.

Re: The Steel Ovens
Ever had the the Steel Ovens and the Village of Strange Men in the same province as Inkpot End? Fun!

Ok, I don't understand why the Steel Ovens are considered to be so powerful?
They might be powerful for a nation that already has a forging discount on mages that would stack, but otherwise? Judging from the Wiki Page on forging, we have: Code:
Magic Path Level: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 |
Re: The Steel Ovens
@Chazar: Having a discount, any type of discount, on gems is a very big deal in this game. Cheaper item means more thugs and sc for the same cost, and more thugs and sc means a serious advantage. A skilled player can abuse this kind of discount to the point where is decides the game. 20% forge bonus is very considerable.
The FoTA is more powerful, but it's not comparable. First of all it's an effort to research and get it cast, and second anyone who does essentially declares war on all other players, at least if the other players are experienced. And everyone will gang up to take you out before it's too late. You need to be in a very favorable position for that to be a good idea. The steel ovens and other sites are secret and free, which makes all the difference in the world. |
Re: The Steel Ovens
Yeah a 20% reduction is a big deal. You basically get 20% more gems to use then all other nations.
Also, all the construction summons are also 20% cheaper. You could always spam juggernaughts as an end game strat. Sure not all nations will benefit from this. If you do not plan to forge a lot, you will not get a great benefit from it. But it helps if you did plan to forge a lot. Or have good national constr summons. |
