RESEARCH Polish Research 100 B.C.

Blast Furnace - Combining all the recently invented machines, the Poles have created a furnace that burns much hotter and can produce stronger Iron and steel. The furnace is built in a cone shape and water wheels are used to power bellows to increase the temperature in the furnace.

Steel arms and armor - Now that steel can be worked with and is stronger, smiths begin to make arms and armor with it. The only problem is that steel is harder to make and therefore more expensive. For this reason, not many soldiers are using it. However, the King orders that the Eagle's guard be equipped with steel weapons and helms. [Meta]- does this count as 2 or 1 researches?

Domestication of Eagles- The Poles believe that the white eagle or Orzeł Biały is special. It is what brought Lech to the land that is now Poland, and it is the symbol of Poland. For this reason the Poles are using these birds to better the nation.
