I vaguely recall some transitional iron->steel campaigns. I think I have seen smelters become Furnaces while playing; but my memory isn't perfect, more likely it happens between missions.
Mission 1: Iron is set as the highest metal, in the iron age.
Mission 2: Steel is set as the highest metal, in the iron age.
Mission 3 (continuation of Mission 1): still in the iron agewithout adding steel to the resource list.
What would happen in mission 3?
Smelters become Furnaces?
Weaponsmiths accepting which metal?
Are the NPCs using iron or steel weapons?
Is there anyreal advantage in the weapon metal type with military actions? Trading/WHstorage doesnt specify the metal type. I'm assuming/guessing NPCs use the highest weapon metal set for the player. Can weapon metal change to iron after a steel mission?
If the steel age transition date is triggered while playing, then what happensin Mission 3, assuming iron is still used ?
Does it matter if the campaign was created using the 1.0.0.0 editor? Im sure there are a few 'Soldout Software' disks being used that cant play the 1.0.1.0 PAKs.
