Bug Description

Why do barbarian and empire mines produce iron ore but goldstone, whereas the atlanteans mine gold ore?
All three tribes' smelting works make pure gold of it.

In my opinion gold ore fits much better and should be mined by barbarian's and empire's mines, too.

Beside just being different, i think "goldstone" is just a wrong translation:

Perhaps then the barbarian smelters should be renamed to alchemists ;)

I would vote for keeping it for not breaking older savegames, but there have been some changes during the past days which do this, so why not change it now.

+1 vote for change to gold ore.

okay, should we only change the description name, that is the name that is shown to the user or should we change the basic ware name breaking save game compatibility once again? I think we did something similar with kitchen_tools.... the are not called kitchen tools in the menus anymore.

I think changing the description is enough. So +1 for changing the description only.

Slightly off-topic, but I just checked, and both barbarians and Empire list kitchen tools among their wares in HQ?

Oh, and +1 to changing the description only.
