They should really fix that in Cabaret Chicks on Ice!

My main wish is for a better look at materials used to make weapons, as others have pointed out. For example, the "steel/Iron" issue. Steel is iron is steel. I don't think they should be two seperate materials for the sake of game rules. If Fine and Very Fine steel was limited to say, TL3 and TL4, then that wouldn't be bad, but I don't think it's accurate at all to say that TL2 weapons were automatically inferior than TL3 weapons, especially when there's a great amount of TL2 iron-age swords that have high carbon content.

I also don't like how bronze is considered Inferior to Iron/Steel. Bronze and Iron/Steel were often used alongside each other for numerous centuries. Bronze is certainly more expensive, which makes sense. But bronze is almost as good as many higher quality steels, and as such it strikes me as odd that steel is the only material that gains any real advantage for being fine/very fine.
