Foundry
A Foundry can produce all the metalware, including most standard weapons, needed for a large city. For governments, however, it is a place where large quantities of arms can be produced to a set quality - arrowheads and spear points, for example, can be cast in the vast number required for an army and all will be uniform. Likewise, swords can be made to the same high standard: they will not break in combat and will have a keen edge. A Foundry will also help the development of Armourers, Weaponsmiths and Bowyers, and may also contribute to the beginnings of formal engineering skills among the locals.
