Effect and affected units
Madrasah changes A former Saracen Castle technology that returned part of a Monk’s gold cost when the Monk was killed. It was replaced by Counterweights in update 61321. 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 The Forgotten at the Castle. The recorded cost is not separately recorded, and the research time is not separately recorded. Consider whether the upgrade will affect enough units or workers to repay that investment before the match is decided.
Matchup plan: Madrasah Monk-rush recovery plan
Madrasah returns some of the gold invested in Saracen Monks when they are killed, reducing the cost of a failed or extended Monk push. Its value depends on enough losses occurring after the Castle technology is researched Use Madrasah when a Monk rush or conversion-heavy plan is already underway and enemy focus fire is likely to kill several Monks. Keep the Monks in groups behind the frontline, rotate low-faith units to safety, and use the return to replace losses or preserve the follow-up economy. Research it only when the Castle is available and the expected Monk activity can repay the cost The technology cannot prevent Monks from dying and may not pay back if they survive. Castle access and research cost make it situational; prioritize immediate Monastery upgrades or defense when the push is not yet active
