Effect & research conditions
Research costs 250 Food and 250 Coin and takes 15 seconds. The benefit applies to Brahmin healing, so those support units must be near injured allies for the upgrade to matter. It does not automatically improve every healer or restore troops in every situation. Keep Brahmin close to the force but protected from cavalry and ranged focus fire.
Research condition
Available to Indians from the Commerce Age. Research it at Monastery.
When to research
Research before a sequence of fights when the army can withdraw and recover rather than replace every damaged unit. Faster healing is useful when units survive engagements and can return to battle; it offers less immediate value during an all-in where troops are lost outright. Weigh the 500-resource investment against replacements and keep a safe area near the army where injured units can recover.
Healing efficiency depends on survival and downtime
The 67% work-rate increase improves Brahmin healing throughput, but it does not remove the need to protect the support line or pause after a fight. The upgrade repays itself through repeated recovery of valuable surviving units. Pull injured troops behind the frontline, keep Brahmin within reach and re-engage after the group is ready. If the Brahmin are forced away or the army cannot disengage safely, improved work rate will not prevent losses. The Monastery research is most useful when the army expects several engagements over time.
