Church Wagon
Church Wagon is a Commerce Age Japanese Consulate technology that delivers a wagon for constructing a Church at a chosen site. It turns Consulate research into infrastructure and gives Japan access to the Church’s available unit or research options under the active rules.

Effect & research conditions
Research takes 30 seconds at the Consulate. The wagon must travel to a legal location and complete construction, so the reward is not an instant combat force. The Japanese Church’s available units and technologies depend on the selected ruleset; inspect its menu before choosing the technology. Protect the wagon while it crosses exposed ground.
Research condition
Available to Japanese from the Commerce Age. Research it at Consulate.
When to research
Choose Church Wagon when Church access supports a specific army or research path. Scout a protected construction site before starting and escort the wagon until the building is complete. If the match needs immediate military support, compare the travel and build time with another Consulate option that delivers units directly.
Plan the Church before the wagon arrives
The wagon’s value depends on where the Church can safely operate and what the Japanese roster can use there. Choose a site near protected production or a useful forward position, then keep units close enough to defend the structure after the wagon is consumed. The 30-second research is only part of the delay; travel and construction also take time. Treat this as a planned access route, not an emergency response to an attack already underway.
