Metallurgy

Metallurgy is a technology in Age of Empires that can be researched at the Storage Pit once the Iron Age is reached. Once researched, it increases infantry and cavalry attack by +3. It is also required to upgrade Heavy Cavalry to Cataphracts. Unlike the other technologies found in the Storage Pit, only a limited number of civilizations can research Metallurgy.
