Effect & research conditions
The listed research costs 500 Coin and takes 30 seconds. It is researched through the House of Wettin palace path in the stated ruleset and grants one Giant Grenadier; subsequent Home City shipments each include one additional Giant Grenadier. The shipment bonus makes its long-term value depend on how many cards the player will send after researching it.
Research condition
Fortress Age at the listed House of Wettin palace site; cost: 500 Coin; research time: 30 seconds.
When to research
Research before several useful Home City shipments remain, so the repeated unit grant can repay the investment. The immediate Giant Grenadier helps in the short term, but the ongoing addition is the reason to plan ahead. Leave population space for the units and ensure the army can protect them when each shipment arrives.
Shipment count affects its return
The technology combines one immediate Giant Grenadier with a recurring addition to future shipments. A player near the end of the match may receive fewer later units than one who researches early and sends several more cards. Consider the Home City deck and remaining shipment opportunities alongside the 500 Coin cost, then make sure population capacity can accept the reinforcements.
