When to research
Research before committing resources to an Asian outlaw force, since the technology changes outlaw durability, damage and training time, then adds further hit-point and damage bonuses at Industrial and Imperial Age. The separate age scaling also affects Treasure Guardians, not only units you recruit. Plan the 250 Food and 250 Wood around the Monastery’s other options.
Definitive Edition costs and age scaling
The Definitive Edition lists a Fortress Age requirement and a cost of 250 Food and 250 Wood; older values differ. It speeds Outlaw training by 50% while increasing Outlaw hit points and damage by 20%. In Industrial and Imperial Ages, Outlaws and Treasure guardians receive the listed larger 30% and 50% improvements. Confirm the version’s profile before planning around those values.
