Extended Metals v1.0.1

Hello!

I was bothered by the use of some metals, for example, you're never gonna craft copper or iron gear because it's so much better to craft the alloy.
Or that the best choice for developing your army is to rush for iron, with no risk whatsoever, and go full steel production. Thus making lead/malachite close to useless.


So I made this mod! In this mod, I changed the combat stats of lead and platinum, and I added 1 new precious alloy (electrum) and 4 new high tier metals (tungsten, orichalcum, mithril, titanium).
I also added a research tree to metal smelting, with a new workshop, the smelting lab! Now, you will have to discover bronze, steel, and rose gold smelting, plus the smelting of all the new metals.


Includes :

-A new workshop, the smelting lab.
-The recipes to smelt bronze, steel, rose gold, and the new metals, now needs to be researched in the smelting lab.
-Added a new high-value alloy, electrum (1 silver bar + 1 gold bar).
-Changed the blunt weapon stats of lead and platinum. Lead is now slightly better than steel, and platinum is slightly better than lead.
-Added on easier recipe for steel, discovered later : 2 iron ore + 2 coal.
-Added 4 new military metals : tungsten, orichalcum, mithril, and titanium. All require 2 raw ores and 2 coal to turn into one bar.
-Tungsten is the best material for blunt weapons, orichalcum for piercing weapons, mithril for slashing weapons, and titanium for armor.
-Kingdoms with high enough worth will see the goblins use the new metals.
-Little utility change, not linked to new metals : added Woodburning skill, under the "Wood" skill category. It was bothering me that my Blacksmith would go and make coal (instead of making more bars or researching) while my Woodworker was standing around.


Things I'm planning :

-A whole bunch of new weapons (for example, a spear for melee piercing damage).
-Following the bunch of weapons, gunpowder ( + a new mineral, saltpeter).
