Bismuth bronze has the exact same weapon and armor properties as regular bronze. It can be used to make all furniture and other objects. Bismuth bronze is 20% more valuable than bronze, three times more valuable than its component parts, and has a unique color.

Bismuth bronze is made with the following recipe:

• 1 tin bar + 2 copper bars + 1 bismuth bar (not ores)

Because of these proportions, bismuth bronze is produced in lots of four bars at a time. While the ores must be smelted normally, only one additional fuel is needed to produce those four bars of bismuth bronze from the four bars noted above at a regular smelter. At a magma smelter, fuel isn't an issue, although the additional time and labor of smelting each ore into bars should still be considered.

Bismuth bronze also provides more weapons-grade metal per tin bar than regular bronze, which may be a consideration if cassiterite is rare on your map.
