When to research

Research Chodkiewicz Hetmans when the named units or matchup are relevant: Hetman: +1,500 hit points, +50% damage, revived and fully healed. Finish it before the affected force enters combat, and retain resources for counters and reinforcements; this modifier does not remove the units’ other weaknesses. Use the Sejm for research. This requires Tarnowski Hetmans. Research takes 30 seconds and costs 1,200 food.

Imperial Hetman upgrade

Chodkiewicz Hetmans is an Imperial Age Polish Sejm technology requiring Tarnowski Hetmans. It costs 1,200 Food and takes 30 seconds. It gives the Hetman 1,500 additional hit points and 50% more damage, and revives him fully healed.

Keep the Hetman alive

The improvement supports a force that relies on the Hetman, but its prerequisite and cost make it a late commitment. Protect the hero while the Sejm completes research; revival is useful but does not remove the delay before he returns. Confirm Tarnowski Hetmans first.
