It is definitely not stacking, it is sequential. Because it is sequential, it matters not what the order is.
Anyway, if it were additive, FoA+Hammer would put a 25 gem item to 6 gems, but they will in fact be 9 gems every time. |

Well, if it rounds at every step it can matter what the order is.
Personal bonuses (Master Smiths, etc) stack with hammers.
The Forge and Site bonuses are applied separately.

Actually, I think it does. From my testing with the Steel Ovens, hammers and Forge up, I got results that only worked if rounding happened after each step in the sequence.
Prime example: You have The Steel Ovens, Forge and a Dwarven Hammer. You forge a Horror Helm. Applying the Forge puts cost to 5, then the Ovens for 4, then the hammer for 3. In game, the cost is 2 gems. To get this result, you must be rounding down between steps of the sequence, and you can't apply the Steel Ovens bonus first. |

It does round down between steps.

Re: Did you know that? (Dominions trivia)
That's an excellent point, I wasn't thinking of the rounding ripple effects.

Re: Did you know that? (Dominions trivia)
You can press 'Shift-F' (free?) in the review battle screen.
This unlocks the numpad '7' and '9' keys to rotate the camera about its Y-axis, and the 'Home' and 'End' keys to rotate the camera about its X-axis.
It also unlocks limits placed on the normal battlefield camera movement keys.

Re: Did you know that? (Dominions trivia)
Very cool. Nice for storming forts, where you can never see what's going on in the gate.
It does seem to cause a seg fault if you rotate too far, though.

Re: Did you know that? (Dominions trivia)
If you wield all three of the following items, you get Awe+0:
Whip of Command
Sceptre of Authority
Crown of Command
I needed to gate some units and wanted to increase my leadership, so I made all three, and ... ooh! Surprise, the Awe icon popped on.

All those items increase leadership, and very high leadership value gives you awe. |
