When to research

Bar Confederation provides an immediate reinforcement: 12 Konfederatka Uhlans (Consulate Uhlans with -0.5 Rate of Fire and Defence promotions). Research when this force fills a current army need and can reach the fight in time; reserve population and set a safe gather point rather than starting it as an emergency response. Use the Church for research. Research takes 15 seconds and costs 2,000 food.

Polish Uhlan reinforcement

Bar Confederation is an Industrial Age Polish Church technology requiring the Treaty of Lublin Home City Card. It costs 2,000 Food and takes 15 seconds. It delivers 12 Konfederatka Uhlans, a Consulate Uhlan variant with lower rate of fire and defensive promotions.

Use the delivery as a timed cavalry force

The large Food cost competes with age-up and infantry production. Prepare population space and a rally point, then use the Uhlans with support that can protect them from anti-cavalry units. Their altered rate of fire and defenses mean they should not be assumed to match ordinary Uhlans exactly.
