[Acanthus117]

I want to make Elves more effective in combat, so I'm thinking of giving them a wood that's as good as bronze (seeing as bronze is bettar than iron in the current version). The problem is, I don't want other people to use it, so as to try to make things fair. Should I only let them have the reaction for the uberwood?

[FACM]

Yes, since you explicitly have to define what civilization can use what reactions.

[Acanthus117]

Thanks!

Good elfy weapons to make out of ironwood;

Spears, pikes, arrows, bows, maces, mauls, hammers.

None of these really imply a metal blade. Not that magic trees couldn't hold an edge, if that's what you wanted.

Ironwood trees could grow in any good biome, allowing dwarves to make high-value wooden items with it (This is an ironwood door. It is adorned with bands of bronze and iron spikes). However, only elves would know the secrets of hardened ironwood, the post-reaction product.

[Acanthus117]

Wait, if you give a civ a reaction, does that mean that it'll utilize that reaction, and adventurers will get that?

((I'll make hardened Ironwood exactly like Bronze in all but color and name. I want swords too, y'know.)

Why don't you make ironwood a tree that occurs only in good biomes? Since elves have [USE_GOOD_WOOD], they'll make stuff out of it, but since humans don't, they'll stick to crummy old oak and the like.

[Acanthus117]

Okey, I'll do that. I really just wanted Ironwood so that I don't start with such crappy stuff if I decide to play as an Elf, and I'm making a mod that makes elves less bigoted and more... eh... cool, I suppose?
