Effect and role

Research takes 30 seconds at the Consulate and costs 250 Export. The two Surgeons arrive when research completes; reserve population for them and set a rally point near the force they will support. Their value depends on staying close enough to help while avoiding direct exposure to enemy attacks.

Access and delivery

Choose the shipment when the army expects repeated engagements and can protect its support units. It is less suited to an immediate emergency that needs damage on the field at once. Compare the 30-second research delay and population use with a direct military option from the Consulate.
