Cost and prerequisites
Research when eligible troops, especially Evzones, are already in the army or will be fielded soon. Secure the settlement and keep the ranged line protected from melee pressure so the damage increase can contribute. If few affected units are present, immediate production or defense may be a better use of the resources and research time.
