My bad, that should be 12 for exactly that reason. @DragonParadox, could you fix that?

Huh, those are Terramare houses acording to google. Wich means we probably are in the Po Valley in northen Italy.The path lead them to a clearing near a small lake where a handful of strange houses of sticks wattle and daub lay perched like pelicans upon the shore behind the protection of a low earthen wall. They might count fifty men women and children in all but no more.
"Makes you thankful of the boat houses, eh?" one of the other men spoke up, peering through the bushes at the strange sight.
Metagaming?We might have to research the geology of the early Roman Kingdom and Co, see if they found any deposits in the area.
Edit: Didn't find anything major. The biggest deposits seemed to be around southern Spain, which is doable but definitively a mid-game concern unless Hephaestus furnishes us a cargo airship or something. The other big one was in southern Britain, with several others in central Germany (from which the Greeks get most of their tin, forming a thriving trade route).
Metagaming?
Filthy cheat!
Seriously though, let's not do that.
We are in an alternate universe, however. Anytime we rely on real world OOC info ... you should know Azel by now.
Big question - when? Because ore alone doesn't help, you must be able to process it. We don't have yet the means to do so, right? Also, what to sacrifice? At the moment we don't have surplus, and after buying the sheep not much of wealth left. And human sacrifice is tricky, you need the god to be in a mood he appreciates it and have to be in a position where you can survive it socially.Well, we are patroned by Hephaestus, and we know metal is a thing. Could we possibly do a grand sacrifice to him and try to discover another metal?

If we are looking to mine our land Hades is the god we should make offerings to.
I'm agree. Dedicate a temple to Hades could be a could synargy with Hephaistos. And he also one of the less assholes gods with humanity.
If we could discover the iron working and developp it it could be very useful too. Bronze was better for a long period of time but to be made you need many materials who aren't often in the same place. Iron is more easy to find and to work.
And that's for starters. Mythical metals shouldn't be out of the question too, like Adamant. Stuff of higher caliber like that will also likely be needed for the inner workings of all sorts of Automatons.

We really, really need to find a way to trade with the dwarves to the far north.
I dearly want that mithral.
There's also Orichalcum in Atlantis to the far west. Is Atlantis already sunken?
