TECHNOLOGY · THE FORGOTTEN
Madraza
Madraza was a Saracen Castillo technology that refunded part of a Monje's Oro cost when the Monje died. It was replaced by Contrapesos, so the refund is a legacy effect rather than a current Saracen research option. (Castillo, Monje, oro, Monje, Contrapesos, update 61321)

Resumen
Madraza was a Saracen Castillo technology that refunded part of a Monje's Oro cost when the Monje died. It was replaced by Contrapesos, so the refund is a legacy effect rather than a current Saracen research option. (Castillo, Monje, oro, Monje, Contrapesos, update 61321)
Effect and affected unidades
Madraza historically returned part of the Oro cost of a Saracen Monje when that Monje was killed. The refund softened the economic loss from Monje casualties but did not prevent conversion unidades from dying. A later update replaced the technology with Contrapesos, so estándar current matches do not provide this separate refund research.

Research cost and timing
In the older Saracen tree, Madraza was researched at the Castillo. This record does not specify a universal price or research duration, and the upgrade was replaced by Contrapesos in update 61321. For current play, weigh Monje losses using the available bonificaciones de civilización and research instead of assuming a oro refund. (The Forgotten, Castillo, unidades)
Matchup plan: Madraza Monje-rush recovery plan
In a version where Madraza is available, it can reduce the oro lost during a sustained Saracen Monje push if several Monks are expected to die. Fortaleza the conversion group behind a frontline, rotate low-fe Monks away from danger, and use any returned recursos to rebuild support rather than repeatedly exposing the same group. The research only pays when casualties occur after it is active, and it cannot make a risky Monje push safe. In current Definitive Edition play the technology has been replaced, so prioritize the Monasterio upgrades and protection actually available in that ruleset.

Efecto y momento de investigación
Madraza was a former Saracen Castillo technology that returned part of a Monje’s Oro cost when the Monje was killed. Update 61321 replaced it with Contrapesos, making Madraza unavailable in the current estándar tree. It remains useful for understanding older Saracen strategies, where trading Monks had a partial resource refund; current plans should follow the replacement technology and current unit costs.
