  1. So there are several well known swords when it comes to historical Bronze Age swords and they all have very nice designs to take inspiration from if anybody's done a mod for that. In particular of interest, you have the NAUE II and Ewart Park sword designs. There's also the Nordic Bronze Age swords or the Chinese ones from the Shang Dynasty. Some pictures for as follows. The Type G and NAUE II swords would have been Greek or Aegean, while the Ewart Park was Celtic. The NAUE II is thought by some people to be essentially the precursor to the Xiphos or what inspired it before they developed wrought irons and steels, it would have been what the heroes in Ancient Greek mythology set in the Bronze Age would have actually used against 'monsters' or the Trojan War and so on in the source material. If you want to look at the other Greek Bronze Age sword designs, here is a detailed source: http://www.salimbeti.com/micenei/weapons1.htm If some modders are interested in Bronze Age Chinese sword designs for inspiration, haven't managed to find many images besides some auction pics like the one below. Since they survived the Bronze Age collapse, they did have some well known bronze swords in the classical era though like this one: https://www.awesomeinventions.com/2500-year-old-chinese-sword-of-goujian/ The Ewart Park Celtic sword is the 1st picture, the NAUE II is the 2nd, Nordic Bronze sword the 3rd and Shang Dynasty one from an auction on google images the 4th image.
  2. Thanks for the help. Yeah, mainly just worried about not having progressed enough since its now early winter. Any landscapes I could maybe set-up in to grow things for the time being until I progress to bronze? Currently it seems like I had to just use the copper I got to make a saw and get myself a wooden door, chests etc because my reed baskets were getting full to the brim. Also should I aim for wooden or copper lamellar if you have to dig down to find tin?
  3. So far so goes, there's been plenty of copper and even lead deposits around but 0 tin. The only one time I found tin was a small amount at a certain beach but now there's nothing, even after playing for days, almost a week now and searching different biomes there's still nothing? Also already soon to be winter in-game as its currently autumn and almost winter I think. When I first found a small amount I accidentally used the last bit of bronze to make a bar instead of hammer and now have to keep searching again. So far I only have a tin bronze anvil and pickaxe, the hammer is missing so I can't get iron. Even if I do manage to find it.
  4. Just for reference. This was the video that discusses what mining methods would be used or were used when metal tools existed but were not used by everyone:
  5. What are your thoughts on adding prehistoric mining methods to acquire copper, etc at the early start of the game? Before metal tools existed in history this is apparently how people mined in parts of the world, atleast in Britain. You would need to find a naturally occurring 'hammer stone' suitable for mining like you do with flint for tools and use it in conjunction with animal bones somehow according to a video I saw about a bronze age copper mine, forgot the full details for the bone part but you should also apparently be able to use fire and water to weaken some rocks. If added it should be used in a balanced way obviously but it would definitely add a reasonable method to be used in conjunction with panning and prospecting for native nuggets I think. Stones which are deemed suitable for mining, like flint would have a lifespan and need to be replaced by other hammer stones after a certain amount of uses.
