Role, availability & values
The wagon has 250 hit points and moves at 4.0 speed. It must reach a suitable site and transform into the mine; the resource output and ownership rules follow the scenario or civilization that provides it. The wagon is exposed while travelling and cannot be treated as a combat unit.
Matchup & timing
Scout the map for a location the army can secure before sending the Prospector. Protect it during travel and guard the mine if opponents can contest the resource. Use the site to support the economy only when the active mode makes its output relevant.
Place the diamond source where it can be defended
The wagon has 250 hit points and 4.0 speed and transforms into a Diamond Mine after reaching a suitable location. Brazil and South Africa access is scenario or civilization-specific. Protect the wagon during travel, then secure the mine and its workers; the unit cannot fight or collect resources while moving.
Secure the resource before transformation
The 250-hit-point wagon moves at 4.0 speed and transforms into a Diamond Mine for Brazil or South Africa under the relevant scenario rules. It gathers nothing while travelling, so scout the site and escort it. Protect the completed mine and its workers, since the resource output depends on keeping the location accessible.
Brazilian and South African mine shipment
The Diamond Prospector Wagon is a Definitive Edition economic construction wagon available to Brazil and South Africa through a Home City shipment. It has 250 hit points, speed four, 20% Siege resistance and sight 18. Its ability is to transform into a Diamond Mine, making the shipment a conversion of a mobile wagon into a stationary economic site rather than a normal worker or a military unit. The mine’s location determines whether the shipment can be used safely, so scout for a protected area before sending the wagon. Its Siege resistance helps against structural pressure but does not make the mine invulnerable. Once deployed, keep the surrounding economy defended and account for the new structure’s footprint when placing other buildings.
Plan the site before calling the wagon
Because the wagon becomes a mine, its value depends on how quickly workers can use the resulting resource and how long the area can be held. Call it where the army can cover the conversion, then assign gatherers only when their route is safe. A forward mine can shorten travel and provide a new resource source, but it also gives the opponent a clear objective for raids or siege. The wagon itself has no ordinary attack role and should not be used as a scout in enemy territory. Include the shipment in the civilization’s economy plan and compare its timing with other deliveries that could fund an immediate army. The exact mine yield and any associated upgrades should be read from the active Brazil or South Africa profile rather than inferred from the wagon’s hit points.
