Attack is the best way to defend - "On War" - Carl von Clausewitz

Some examples of iron oramentation date back to 4000 BC, but the use of iron for tools, weapons, and other practical purposes did not become common until much later. Prior on this time, bronze was the most widely used metal for such purposes. Although the term "Iron Age" demotes a period of time starting around 1000 BC, iron replaced bronze as the metal of choice at different times in different places. Iron is more common than copper and tin, the component metals of bronze, but iron is seldom found in a free state; it is most commonly found mixed with other minerals and elements. In order to be used, the iron must be separated from the core. Once this technique was developed, and forges hot enough to melt the iron was harder, less brittle, and could hold a much sharper edge then bronze.
