Bronze age bronze is also stronger than iron age iron. Iron displaced bronze because you don't need two different metals to make it, not because it was very good.
But its funny to see that in EVERY game the developers think iron is stronger than bronze :).
Alblaka said himself that Bronze is better than Iron, so your Argument is invalid.
Obliviously talking about the 9999999 other games that seem to think iron > bronze
More like because Bronze was heavier, way too much for weapons/tools.
Iron and bronze weight almost the same. The reason iron was used for weapons was because it was cheap compared to bronze.
And Greg, who's "MatPat" ? Guess why I ask lol.

But remember, its just a Theory.

There was that one time when he changed it to "But remember, it's just a theory, a CONSPIRACY TH-" before cutting to static in the polybius episode, I found that to be a funny change given the subject matter.

That was a pretty good episode, i didnt actually know what polybius was until i saw that particluar video, i wasnt around in the 90's. Well i was but i was like 2.
I was popping in to Support to see if a new beta came out, but I found this thread instead. Here's some fun facts I've learned about Alblakas' armor balancing choices since IC1 and beyond:
-IC2 bronze is stronger than bronze-age bronze, due to an effective alloy blend. Modern day bronze is FAR stronger than bronze-age bronze, because we have tools that allow us to find the best molecular blend of metals to make the strongest alloy.
-Metal armor IS stronger than nano armor now, but that is because electric armor is rechargeable. You have to put in some real work to get a new set of metal armor.
-If we go into the fictional debate between fictional bronze and fictional iron, then I would like to argue that Alblaka's fictional refined iron has a higher carbon content than fictional MC iron, which is why the electric wrench does not break down like crappy fictional MC iron tools. Not only that, but it was made with a better fictional manufacturing process.What I'm trying to get at is Alblaka made a mod that lets us feel high tech - nowhere in there does it say he has to be realistic, especially when it comes to balancing it so people can enjoy playing together in multiplayer.

This makes things clear.
