these are some ideas I had for different stones,  alloys, and ways to improve existing ones.

Alloys/metals:

Sun-bronze: A haradish metal made by alloying gold and bronze in a generic forge(see below).

Faction iron: Factions such as elves or dwarves who require steel for armor can have an iron armor, which would have it's own advantage over the steel.

Orc steel: now uses mordor rock and morgul iron instead of just morgul iron.

blue dwarven steel: Instead of just Sarluin and iron, it uses Sarluin and dwarf steel.

Steel: has already been suggested before,  used for human armor and equipment.

Bronze: Should be used to mine iron instead of stone tools, stone tools can now only mine copper and aluminum.

Stones:

Sarncaran stone should spawn throughout most of rhun in patches.

Rohan, Gondor, and Mordor rock should have elven names like Sarluin and.Sarncaran have. Gondor rock can have a name like 'moon stone' and mordor should have a name like 'shadow stone'

Mordor mountains, the blue mountains,  and the red mountains should have their proper names. (Mountains of ash/shadow, ered luin, oricarni.)

Reworked forging:

Clay forge: a forge similar to a vanilla furnqce, but can only smelt copper or bronze. Used by dundelings, half trolls, and gundabad orcs. "how is this useful?" you may ask, vinnila furnaces are nerfed to only cook food. This is where the generic forge comes into effect. Is also used to smelt smooth stone for generic forges.

Generic forge: A forge crafted out of stone bricks, can forge iron and steel.
