A second Federal American General upgrade
Brigadier General is an Imperial Age Federal American Capitol technology requiring Cadets. It costs 1,000 Food and takes 30 seconds. It adds another 1,000 hit points to the General and increases the hero’s damage by 100%. It follows the earlier durability upgrade.
Invest in the hero line
The upgrade is valuable when the General remains a central part of the army and can be protected during research. It does not improve other units. Keep the Capitol safe and compare the Food cost with additional Imperial production; Cadets must be completed first.
