Forging Observations

[Norfleet]

Sounds like you've hit on a more or less definitive measure. It meshes with all of the observed behavior I've seen.

One thing to note, is that, as far as I can tell, if you were to, by chance, find, say, the Steel Ovens AND the Ancient Forge, those bonusses will NOT stack. Could you maybe confirm this result?

Hmm, if I understand the results correctly they don't stack, but FotA is applied before and in addition to any other reductions.

He lists the 80 robe being forged for 22 with a dwarven hammer while both FotA and Steel Ovens are active.

FotA: 80 / 2 = 40 (new Base Cost)
SO: 40 * 20% = 8
DH: 40 * 25% = 10

Cost: 40 - 8 - 10 = 22

BTW, I'm sure this is not news to the old hands at Dom 2, but it was a pleasant discovery for me: when using the DH (and I presume other such forge-helpers), fractional costs round in favor of the caster.

In the case of forging a Clam of Pearls, the base cost of 10 is reduced by 25% or 2.5, which is rounded up to 3, so the new cost is 10-3=7. I had expecting 10-2=8.

I was referring to what would happen if there were TWO sites with construction bonusses in the same province, such as the Steel Ovens AND the Ancient Forge.

Here you go

Province with "The Steel Ovens" and "Ancient Forge"

nataraja (0% Bonus) 64
nataraja w/ HoF & Hammer of the Cyclops (100% Bonus) 16

Province with "The Steel Ovens", "Ancient Forge", and "Banefire Forge"

nataraja (0% Bonus) 64
nataraja w/ HoF & Hammer of the Cyclops (100% Bonus) 16

Guess they don't stack
