Research is available in Castle Age at the Castle. The recorded cost is 300 Food, 300 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.
Matchup plan: Wagenburg Tactics mobile-gunpowder plan
Wagenburg Tactics improves Bohemian gunpowder mobility, making it easier to keep Hand Cannoneers, Hussite Wagons, and related units with the moving army. Use the speed to reposition while retaining a proper screen Research the technology when gunpowder units are already a major part of your composition. Move the ranged group between protected firing positions, keep infantry or Hussite Wagons between it and cavalry, and use the increased mobility to respond to raids or follow a siege push. Pair it with the unit upgrades that improve damage before spreading resources across several gunpowder lines Faster movement does not make these units as mobile as cavalry or remove their need for protection. The cost can strain a Castle Age economy, especially if Hussite Wagons are already being produced; wait until the composition can benefit
