Iron

πŸ”₯ What is Iron?

Iron is a non-tradable soft-currency produced by your Forges and marks your entry into true late-game development. It’s a rare and valuable resource used to build your Castle, unlock deeper tiles, and power the highest-tier upgrades for both Forges and Churches.

Each Forge requires two Houses to operate and produce Iron, which makes your town layout planning part of the challenge. Production is slow at first, but Iron becomes far more scalable through Church influence, making building synergy the key to reaching end-game efficiency.
