Role, availability & values
The wagon has 250 hit points and moves at 4.0 speed. It must reach a legal site and complete the selected structure before its effect begins. The availability and eligible Trading Post sites depend on the civilization and map.
Matchup & timing
Choose an Outpost when workers or a route need protection, or a Trading Post when the site provides a useful route or alliance. Scout before sending the wagon and keep an escort nearby. A free building can still be lost if placed beyond the army’s ability to defend it.
Choose defense or route access
The wagon has 250 hit points and 4.0 speed and can build an Outpost or Trading Post at no building cost. Italians, Mexicans, and Baja California access it under the listed rules. Select the structure based on whether the position needs local defense or access to a Trade Route or Native settlement. Escort the wagon and check that the site is legal before dispatch.
Placement and structure choice
The Frontier Post Wagon is a Definitive Edition construction unit for Italians, Mexicans and the Baja California Revolution. It has 250 hit points, 20% siege resistance, speed 4.0 and line of sight 18. The wagon does not gather resources or attack; it transforms into one free Outpost or Trading Post at a legal build site. An Outpost supplies local defense and vision, while a Trading Post can claim a Trade Route socket or an eligible Native settlement. Those options are map-dependent, so scout the exact site before moving the wagon forward. Because there is only one structure choice per wagon, decide what the position needs before starting construction. Keep the unit behind an escort until it reaches a defensible spot: the building has no value if the wagon is lost or an exposed construction site is destroyed before completion.
