Research effect

Research costs 400 Wood and 400 Coin and takes 60 seconds at a Trading Post or Tambo on a Huron settlement. The Mantlets arrive as technology reinforcements and use population. The settlement connection is required; the upgrade is not a general Mantlet production option for other civilizations.

Research condition

Huron settlement · Exploration Age · Trading Post or Tambo · 400 Wood · 400 Coin · 60 seconds · 1 Huron Mantlet per 2 minutes, up to 30 minutes.

Cost and prerequisites

Research early enough for the timed deliveries to arrive before the planned push, if the army can use the slow support units. Keep population space and protect the allied settlement during research. Mantlets should travel with the force they support; their value falls if they arrive after the decisive engagement or move alone into danger.
