Mapuche Treaty of Quillin
Mapuche Treaty of Quillin is an Exploration Age technology researched at a Trading Post or Tambo on a Mapuche settlement. Its timed Coin deliveries reward an early investment in a continuing match, while its cost competes with early economic and military choices.

Effect & research conditions
It costs 225 Food and 225 Wood and takes 10 seconds to research. It grants one Chest of Coin worth 100 Coin every two minutes of game time, up to 30 minutes: at most 15 chests, or 1,500 Coin total. This is a schedule of installments rather than an immediate crate.
Research condition
Available from the Exploration Age. Research it at Trading Post or Tambo on a Mapuche settlement.
When to research
Research early when the settlement is available and enough time remains to justify the installments. Delaying research reduces the remaining time in the 30-minute schedule. Food and Wood may be needed for aging, units or defenses first, so weigh the delayed return against the current match state.
Delayed Coin shipments
This Mapuche settlement technology converts elapsed game time into Coin crates rather than raising worker gathering. It costs 225 Food and 225 Wood, takes 10 seconds to research, and delivers 100 Coin for each two minutes of game time up to 30 minutes, for a maximum of 1,500 Coin. The ceiling means it favors an upgrade secured early enough for several future deliveries; researched late, it produces only the deliveries remaining before the cap. It is a better fit for a stable economy that can spare the initial cost than for an immediate emergency where the army needs resources now. In the original Age of Empires III rules it can replace Aztec Chocolate Recipes, so the available native technology depends on the game version and settlement.
