Gods, the Viking help line sucks..
My favourite is the coal. How do you get 15 coal? Do you prepare plant matter and press it, making some sort of rudimentary burner-fuel? Do you dig for it in the ground, like a sane person? Pray to the gods, perhaps?
Oh, no. One burns chicken on the camp-fire. Until you at some point will be able magically roast the finest core wood in the forest into coal-bits (neither of this works in reality). Or else, one farms evil small-elves who seem to carry coal out of the lava-pits of Swedish viking-hell.
But the - by far - quickest way (and only way early on) is to burn food on the campfire. Because we all know that burnt chicken will get your forge above 1300 or so degrees when you put it in the forge.
Or else you can obliterate gold coins, because viking physics!
Nevertheless - it is a "learning process". So one shouldn't be too harsh about these ENTIRELY LOGICAL AND INTERNALLY CONSISTENT MECHANICS THAT ARE NOT RIDICULOUS IN ANY WAY.
