The affected target is +15% with 30 units in a 15 tile area; the bonus does not automatically apply to the rest of the roster. This is the main reason to research it; compare the affected units with the army you expect to field.
Research cost and timing
Research is available in Castle Age at the Castle. The recorded cost is 350 Food, 300 Gold, and the research time is 40 seconds. Consider whether the upgrade will affect enough units or workers to repay that investment before the match is decided.
