Damage and poison effects
The Exploration Age technology costs 250 Food and 250 Coin and takes 60 seconds at a Trading Post or Tambo on a Carib settlement. It increases Hand Infantry and Archer damage by 10%. It also allows Carib Blowgunners and Carib Ambushers to inflict poison damage with their ranged attacks; the listed poison duration is six seconds. The damage bonus and poison effect apply to specific unit groups rather than the whole army.
Definitive Edition change and army use
Update 13.18214 added the ranged poison effect for Carib Blowgunners and Carib Ambushers; earlier descriptions that mention only the 10% damage increase reflect the older version. The long research time makes it more valuable when the player expects to field these Carib units and affected Hand Infantry or Archers for sustained combat. Poison supplements their normal attacks; it does not replace screening or make the units safe from their counters.
