Delivers 6 Baghdad Azaps*

Effect & research conditions

Research takes 30 seconds at the Consulate. The Azaps arrive as a group and occupy population, so the player needs room for them and a force that can protect their approach. Availability follows the Indian Consulate and the active game version.

Research condition

Indians; Ottomans selected as Consulate ally; Commerce Age; Consulate; 200 Export; 30 seconds; delivers six Baghdad Azaps.

When to research

Choose the shipment when ranged troops fill a gap in the Indian army or help defend a position. Compare its timing with other Consulate options and Home City shipments, and avoid sending the units into a fight without a screen against melee pressure.

Consulate infantry delivery

6 Azaps is a Commerce Age Indian Consulate technology in The Asian Dynasties. It costs 200 Export, takes 30 seconds and delivers six Baghdad Azaps. This is a fixed one-time reinforcement, not a training-time or combat upgrade.

Use the group as a timing force

Prepare population space and a rally point before research completes. The group is most useful when it can join the army promptly and answer a current need. Compare the Export cost and Consulate delay with other alliance shipments and the resources required for follow-up units.
