Millet System

Millet System is an Exploration Age Ottoman Mosque technology that reduces Yörük spawn time by four seconds. It costs 75 Wood and takes 15 seconds to research. The effect accelerates the listed Yörük spawning process; it is not a direct combat upgrade and does not itself add a fixed group of Yörüks. Koprulu Viziers is listed as a further research option in this Mosque progression.

Effect & research conditions

Research Millet System at the Mosque and account for the shorter Yörük arrival interval when planning the Ottoman economy and army. The improvement matters over continuing production or spawning cycles, not as an immediate unit delivery. Coordinate it with the rest of the production plan and avoid assuming that faster arrival changes the units’ combat statistics.

Research condition

Ottomans; Exploration Age; researched at the Mosque; costs 75 Wood; 15-second research time; Yörük spawn time reduced by four seconds; Koprulu Viziers follows.

When to research

Choose it early when Yörük production is expected to be a recurring part of the economy and the saved time can accumulate into earlier access to the resource flow. If the match requires an immediate combat force or the Yörük system is not central to the plan, spend the Wood elsewhere. Check the subsequent Mosque options when planning the line.

Yörük production begins at the Ottoman Town Center

Millet System reduces the spawn interval for Yörüks produced from Ottoman Town Centers by four seconds. It does not deliver a fixed group or change their combat profile. Its value depends on allowing the recurring spawn process to continue, so the short research is more useful when the Town Center remains active and the economy can support the resulting Villagers.

Current and earlier research values

The current technology costs 75 Wood and reduces the interval by four seconds. Earlier versions listed 50 or 100 Wood and a five-second reduction. Koprulu Viziers is the next Mosque research in the chain, so consider the later option when planning the full Ottoman Yörük economy.
