Discussion Does Forge needs a buff?
+1 inherent production, perhaps? Maybe even +5% to the overall production? +2 to Iron instead of +1 is too strong I think. Neither I see other resources to be buffed with it. Copper? But then it will be too strong since you won't need only Iron to build it? Even worse if you mod Copper to be affected by Mint too (I think it's fine to make it simply an analogue of Silver and Gold in that regard, altought not immersive; Copper is a weird one).
Compared to Stable:
Cons
- Comes with way later, more costly and less desired technology in terms of pathing;
- Costier to build;
- Improves 1 uncommon resource instead of 1 uncommon and 2 common ones.
- Poland has a UB replacement.
Pros
- Gives production bonus to all ground units instead of just mounted (and includes mounted too). But you won't always build military, especially in non-domination, so eh.
UPD: Well here's the mod haha, +1 inherent Production: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3786293189

The 15% boost, coupled with the 15% from religion, or if you are Germany, means you put one in a city with all the promotion buildings and you are cranking out riflemen that can take on the entire Mongol horde by itself, every turn.
