## Usage Patterns

Place in a Governor Villa or Officium that covers Iron Mines, Furnaces, and Weaponsmiths to boost the entire weapons production chain productivity by 20%. Ideal for military-focused layouts where weapons production is a priority.

## Common Pitfalls

Only affects buildings within the radius of the building where the specialist is placed. Ensure all parts of the weapons chain (Iron Mine, Furnace, Weaponsmith) are within range to maximize the benefit.
