When to research

Inca Raiding Party provides an immediate reinforcement: 12 Plumed Spearmen. Research when this force fills a current army need and can reach the fight in time; reserve population and set a safe gather point rather than starting it as an emergency response. Use the Town Center for research. This requires Inca Scouting Party. Research takes 10 seconds and costs 600 food, 600 coin.

Fortress Age Plumed Spearmen delivery

Inca Raiding Party is a Fortress Age Town Center technology requiring Inca Scouting Party. It costs 600 Food and 600 Coin, takes 10 seconds and delivers 12 Plumed Spearmen. It is a one-time army reward rather than an upgrade to the units already trained.

Prepare population and follow-up

Make room for the shipment and choose a safe rally point before research completes. The large Food and Coin cost competes with aging and ordinary production, so use the Spearmen when they answer a current need. Inca War Party is the next step in the Town Center line.
