Can you specify why you chose forge instead of smithy?

Can you specify why you chose forge instead of smithy?

That's a fascinating question! Both terms are basically equivalents. The reason I opted for “forge” instead of “smithy” is because blacksmith and smithy imply working with iron, whereas smith and forge can apply to any metal. While 0 A.D. is situated in the Iron Age, bronze (i.e. copper + tin) was still very important, hence why I preferred the more generic term “forge”.
Were 0 A.D. situated in the Middle Ages, I might have had proposed “smithy” instead. (The word “forge” is etymologically derived from Latin fabrica, “smithy” from Old Norse smithja.)

Thanks for the clarification! To me this change seems good (although I like "smithy" more, for no specific reason).
I'll ping @Gallaecio in case they have some opinion on the matter and have some time to express it.
(Else I'll commit this within a few days.)

Sounds good to me.

And I’m basically off 0 A.D. contributions again, so don’t wait on my opinion :)

Yeah, I read that somewhere ^^ But thanks for the answer on this :D

I also approve the name change.
