Brahmin and Elephant combat bonuses
Crushing Force is an Industrial Age Indian Monastery technology. It costs 500 Wood and 500 Coin and takes 15 seconds. It doubles the Brahmin’s chance to use its Stomp effect and increases Elephant hand and trample damage by 15%. The effect is limited to those named unit types.
Support an Elephant composition
Research it when Brahmins and Elephants are part of the force and the Monastery can stay active. The bonus does not improve ranged attacks or other units, so compare it with immediate production. Since it is an Industrial Age investment, preserve enough resources for the army that must protect the research and use the upgraded units.
