Effect and affected units

Huaracas changes slingers +1 range; train 50% faster. Read the named target carefully: this effect applies only to the units, buildings, or economy described in its entry. 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 Imperial Age at the Castle. The recorded cost is 450 Wood, 350 Gold, and the research time is 45 seconds. Consider whether the upgrade will affect enough units or workers to repay that investment before the match is decided.

Effect and research timing

Slingers gain range and train faster. Effect: Slingers +1 range; train 50% faster. Research becomes available in: Imperial Age; Research at: Castle; Research cost: 450 Wood, 350 Gold; Research time: 45 seconds.

Its value depends on which units receive the effect and how often they take part in combat; timing it before a major engagement can improve the whole eligible group.
