What are Industry Developments?

Focuses on Improving the Production of the Settlement

Industry developments focus more on improving and upgrading the production aspect of your settlement. From creating better armors to providing charcoal for fuel, it is quite important to improve on these developments if your settlement has entered its industrial age.

Take Deep Mining FIrst

Deep Mining is the best development to get here as it provides unlimited resources for Mining Pits (Iron and Stone). This is extremely valuable especially when you inevitably start providing weapons and armor to your army.

Armormaking and Charcoal Burning is Good Too

Getting access to Charcoal Burning makes sure you have enough fuel to sustain the industry buildings as most of them require fuel. Then, when everything has settled down try taking the Armormaking next as expanding to other regions and fighting other Lords are the true endgame.
