Kamidana
Kamidana is an Industrial Age Japanese technology researched at the Dojo. It reduces Dojo unit spawn time by 20%, improving the rate at which the building’s automatic unit production completes. The research costs 300 Food and 300 Coin and takes 30 seconds. Since Dojos generate units over time, the improvement applies to an ongoing stream rather than arriving as an immediate army shipment. It is specific to Dojo production and does not accelerate units trained from every Japanese building.
Research profile
Effect & research conditions
Research Kamidana at a Dojo that is active and expected to keep producing. The 20% reduction is useful only while the building continues to generate units, so protect the Dojo and allow the output to reinforce the army. Do not mistake the faster spawn time for a change to unit statistics or a guarantee about which randomized unit appears.
Research condition
Japanese; Industrial Age; researched at a Dojo; costs 300 Food and 300 Coin; 30-second research time; Dojo unit spawn time reduced by 20%.
When to research
Take the technology when Dojos are part of the Japanese army plan and their continued output can justify the 30-second research and 600 total resources. If the Dojo is inactive or likely to be destroyed, the benefit may not repay the investment. Prepare population space and a safe route for the additional units.
Shorter spawn interval means more units over time
Kamidana reduces Dojo spawn time by 20%. A unit that spawns after a fixed interval therefore arrives after four-fifths of its previous wait, equivalent to 25% more completed spawn cycles over the same uninterrupted production period. This is a rate effect, not an immediate 20% unit delivery, and the Dojo must remain active for the extra cycles to matter.
Japanese Dojo technology and version history
The Japanese research Kamidana at a Dojo in the Industrial Age for 300 Food and 300 Coin, with a 30-second research time. The current spawn-time reduction is 20%; earlier rules used 25%. Protect the Dojo and leave population capacity for its output, since a faster spawn rate is wasted if production is blocked or the building is lost.
