Cree Textile Craftsmanship
Cree Textile Craftsmanship is an Exploration Age technology researched at a Trading Post or Tambo on a Cree settlement. It reduces Building and construction-wagon costs by 10% and shortens construction time for buildings other than Wonders by 25%.

Effect & research conditions
The current listed cost is 125 Wood and 125 Coin, and research takes 30 seconds. The 10% reduction applies to Building and construction-wagon costs; the 25% speed increase applies to construction of buildings except Wonders. Research before placing eligible structures or using construction wagons so that later investments receive the effect.
Research condition
Available from the Exploration Age. Research it at Trading Post or Tambo on a Cree settlement.
When to research
Use it ahead of a planned expansion that includes several buildings or construction wagons. The saved resources and shorter build times can accumulate across multiple placements, while one late building may not repay the research cost. It does not remove the need to protect construction sites or establish a safe location.
Two distinct construction bonuses
Cree Textile Craftsmanship reduces Building and construction-wagon costs by 10%. Separately, it reduces building construction time by 25%, excluding Wonders. The cost effect also applies to construction wagons; the timing effect is for buildings being constructed.
Plan several placements around the research
It costs 125 Wood and 125 Coin and takes 30 seconds. Research before a sequence of buildings or wagons to get more value from both effects. The technology does not make a site safe, and a discounted structure still needs workers, time and protection to become useful.
