;	Notes:
;     Keys:
;       to add a game concept one must first add a Key for it.  these are of the form:
;			GCON_Name
;	    where Name contains only alpha-numerical symbols.
;		these Keys are used to look up the game concept Name and Text.
;       Keys are NOT translated.
;       Keys for other items (units, techs, etc.) are set by Civ3Edit.
;
;	  Game concepts follow the form:
;			#Key
;			Name
;			Text
;		Links in game concepts follow the form:
;           $LINK<Text=Key>
;		the Text -- everything between the '<' and the '=' must be translated.
;		the Key  -- everything between the '=' and the '>' must be a valid key
;					for the link to work
;
;	  Descriptions follow the form:
;			#Header
;			Text
;		the Header for descriptions must be in the form DESC_Key
;		so, for the game concept: "Territory" that has the key "GCON_Territory",
;		the Header should be "DESC_GCON_Territory"
;		A complete list of all Civilopedia Keys is coming soon.

#GOOD_Bronze
^
^Evidence of the use of bronze, an alloy of copper and tin, dates back to Thailand in 4500 BC. Several hundred years later, bronze working 
was discovered in the Middle East. Artifacts from this period show that bronze was initially used for decorative purposes only. This is 
because tin was not readily available. It wasn't until approximately 2000 BC, when tin was regularly imported from neighboring regions, that 
bronze replaced copper in the construction of larger items. Bronze was harder and less brittle than copper, and it held a sharper edge. Tools, 
weapons, and armor made from bronze were also cheaper to produce and more durable. The period of time when bronze was the metal of 
choice for such items was known as the Bronze Age. The Bronze Age lasted until iron working became prevalent in approximately 1200 BC.


#GOOD_Wood
^
^Wood from forests was used from the times of early civilization for items such as wooden clubs, spears and
dugout canoes. As stone tools improved forests could be cut to provide wood for burning, building and furniture,
and when metal tools were developed this use and cutting of forests increased. In the Mesopotamia region, cedar
from the Lebanon area was in high demand -- surviving texts from Egypt show large amounts of it being imported by
ship for shipbuilding, furniture and for use in the Pharaoh's palace.




PS: The first text is the same of "Bronze Working", the second one is the same of the tech "Wood Working" of Mesopotamia
Scenario of Civ3 Conquest.
