Bug Description

Part of the campaign text for barbarian tutorial 3 says:
"* Enhance your metalworks to an axefactory or - as soon as the blacksmith reaches his next level (master blacksmith) - even to a war mill and build up another metalworks to ensure the production of tools."

A while back I suddenly discovered that when enhancing a metalworks to an axefactory it didn't require a master blacksmith, contrary to what I had believed up to that point. I realized it was only when it was enhanced further to war mill that a master blacksmith was required. Replaying the third barbarian tutorial I came across the statement above, which may have been where my misunderstanding was rooted. I guess I skipped the "or" before the first dash when reading it. I'm not sure if I'm the only one affected, but I wonder if it should be rephrased to something else to avoid more confused players. My suggestion would be to split it out to form two sentences. Something like this, perhaps:
"* Enhance your metalworks to an axefactory in order to produce weapons and build up another metalworks to ensure the production of tools. When the blacksmith reaches his next level (master blacksmith), you can even enhance it to a war mill which produces additional weapons."
(Just off the top of my head)

What do you think? Am I the only one confused by this, or can the text seem misleading?

@Hans: I agree with your observation. The text in question can be misleading. As a native English speaker, I can add that your suggested alternative phrasing is much clearer and grammatically correct as it stands. I would like to see it implemented.
