Bottlenecks

Mountain Slot availability for Iron Mine
Charcoal production (ensure adequate forest coverage)
Leather distribution between Sandal Makers and Armourer

Notes

This chain supports military expansion and citizen needs (Sandals). Not perfectly efficient but very close, allowing slight overflow for stockpiling.
