Re: Some more tests.
I guess I look at it from a different angle. This is multiplicative to an existing advantage you're already leveraging. Look at it this way for the sake of simplicity, if you were forging 5 lightless lanterns per turn for 25 gems, you get the forge up and now they only cost 2 so you can forge 12 for 24 gems- the forge has gained you 7 lanterns this turn. With Ulm in the same situation you were forging 8 per turn @3 gems apiece for 24 gems total, and are now forging 24 @1 gem apiece...you've gained 16 lanterns per turn rather than 7 for the same investment in the forge. That's a pretty significant difference and the math works the same for any 5 gem item.

Re: Some more tests.
If you have 80 master smiths on average only 2 would have S1 and A1. So actually you would only be able to build 2 S or A items for 1 gem. Also that would be around turn 40'ish by the time you have the forge, have the mages.
I am still not very impressed.
EA Ulm forging bonus is far better. Also overall as a nation you are better off playing MA Caelum with there 1W forgers. LA Caelums 1E forge bonus is good as well.

Re: Some more tests.
Oh, like I said, I'm not claiming they're super powerful, but I've had a lot of fun playing them and been able to do so fairly competitively.
