he earliest known production of steel is a piece of ironware excavated from an archaeological site in Anatolia and is about 4,000 years old.[18] Other ancient steel comes from East Africa, dating back to 1400 BC.[19] In the 4th century BC steel weapons like the Falcata were produced in the Iberian Peninsula, while Noric steel was used by the Roman military.[20] The Chinese of the Warring States (403–221 BC) had quench-hardened steel,[21] while Chinese of the Han Dynasty (202 BC – 220 AD) created steel by melting together wrought iron with cast iron, gaining an ultimate product of a carbon-intermediate steel by the 1st century AD.[22][23]
i said we are from the time-period- of early farmers/settlement TO iron age isch
we arent in 1 fixed part but we evolve ourselves between that time, when we gather enough seeds and plant them so we dont rely on hunting anymore and when we start finding mines and all of that needing protection we start building settlements with strong walls and eventualy into large prospering towns with steel coming somewhere at the end.
so we roughtly follow the path of early farmers/settlements to steel. and yes we have a few items that dont fit in there, but this is a game, so what? oh and smelters are not something from the 17th century, crude ones date back far, before the iron age even so the smelters we have now are fine
