11 Almost everything in Anvil Empires is made by a player. Weapons, armour, food, structures, and siege engines all start as raw materials gathered from the world, processed through workshops, and assembled into finished items. The game ships with around a hundred and fifty distinct resources spread across nine categories, plus the ingot tier system that drives gear progression.

88 Smelting raw ore at a Furnace yields one of four ingot tiers, which form the backbone of weapon and armour progression. Higher ingot tiers consistently outperform lower ones for the same item type.

1719 A typical production chain in a faction looks like this: a homestead farmer plants Tilled Fields with wheat and flax; a hunter brings in deer meat and pelts; a miner extracts iron ore and clay; ingredients flow into a town Furnace and Grain Mill; ingots feed the Forge for arms and armour; cooked meals stack in the Pantry; and a caravan packs barrels of bread, arrows, and ingots and takes them out to the supply camps. Players are free to specialise in any link of the chain; almost no one does the whole loop alone.
