I'm trying to determine whether I should give my Hittite army any iron weapons or even helmets? My trawling the net so far has produced nothing definite though I would imagine iron implements might well be beyond any thing like mass issue. Would the experts here like to weigh in? |

I don't know. Once you know how to work iron, it's pretty easy to find and it seemed to become common over a (relatively) short period. That being said, I don't know the evidence supporting Hittite use of iron, thought I definitely heard it 'somewhere, a long time ago'. |

I gave my Hittites bronze weapons and a mix of leather and bronze helmets. My thinking was that if iron was difficult to gather for making a gift…mass weaponry was probably not possible. |
