Bleu’s Blacksmith Mod
This mod slightly changes the provincial blacksmith building chain so that it follows the same pattern as other provincial specialty buildings.
Buildings like the craft shop/fletchter or naval tradition present two branching construction paths. Choosing either path will specialize along one way, while keeping the first level of specialization of the other branch. This is why, for example, a level 3 fletcher will still provide a minor amount of luxury goods, while a level 3 craft shop will provide a minor accuracy bonus for ranged units.
The blacksmith chain does NOT respect this in vanilla, and overrides armor/attack bonuses once upgraded. No more!
Now the level 3 blacksmith will retain a +1 melee attack bonus and the level 3 weaponsmith will retain a +1 armor bonus.
