1st Pennsylvania Rifles
1st Pennsylvania Rifles is a Commerce Age United States Meeting House technology that delivers five Sharpshooters. It is tied to the Pennsylvania Federal State and its Philadelphia Convention Home City Card, so access depends on the chosen age-up path as well as the research building.

Effect & research conditions
The research takes 15 seconds and currently costs 625 Food; before update 15.59076 it cost 575 Food. After selecting Pennsylvania for the Commerce Age transition, send Philadelphia Convention to unlock the option at the Meeting House. Completion sends five Sharpshooters to the Home City shipment point rather than improving units already on the field.
Research condition
Definitive Edition; United States; Commerce Age; Meeting House; Pennsylvania Federal State and Philadelphia Convention card; 15 seconds; 625 Food (575 before update 15.59076); delivers five Sharpshooters.
When to research
Use the delivery when five Sharpshooters strengthen the planned army and the Food can be spared from immediate production. Because the route requires a Federal State choice and a card, include those commitments in the opening plan. Choose a safe rally point and protect the ranged infantry with units that can handle enemies reaching its firing line.
The Federal State determines access
Philadelphia Convention is available through the Pennsylvania age-up choice. Sending the card unlocks the Meeting House technology; players who chose another Federal State should not expect the same option. This makes the five-unit reinforcement part of a deck and age-up sequence, not a universal United States Consulate shipment.
A cost change in Definitive Edition
The current cost is 625 Food. The source records 575 Food before update 15.59076. Use the current price when planning a present-day build and label the earlier value as historical rather than combining it with current unlock conditions.
