Role, availability & values
First select the Indian alliance when advancing to the Fortress Age; without that alliance the Rickshaw is not an available Ethiopian option. Train the single allowed Rickshaw at the Town Center for 200 Influence and escort it to a legal building site. It constructs the Indian Market at three times the ordinary build rate, completing in about five seconds. The market’s functions become usable only after it arrives and finishes the transformation, so the value depends on both the alliance choice and a safe, useful site.
Matchup & timing
Choose this alliance when the Indian Market’s economic options fit the Ethiopian plan and the Influence cost does not delay more urgent units or age progression. Place the market where workers and defenders can reach it, rather than using the free structure as a reason to expose the Rickshaw. Its name refers to the building it creates: availability belongs to the Ethiopian alliance system, not the Indian civilization roster.
Complete the Influence-funded construction
The Ethiopian Rickshaw costs 200 Influence and takes 2.5 seconds to train in the recorded profile. It moves at 4.0 speed with 250 hit points and builds an Indian Market for free. The building’s functions become available only after it reaches a legal site and completes the transformation. The name refers to its structure, not to an Indian civilization unit.
Alliance requirement and fast construction
The Rickshaw is an Ethiopian unit unlocked by choosing the Indians as an alliance. It costs 200 Influence, has a limit of one, and builds an Indian Market at three times the standard rate (about five seconds). The alliance requirement is the important roster condition: without the Indian alliance, the Ethiopian Town Center cannot produce this wagon. Keep the Rickshaw safe until the Market is complete.
