When to research
Ruhrpott provides an immediate reinforcement: 1 Factory Wagon and 1 Coal Prospector Wagon. Research when this force fills a current army need and can reach the fight in time; reserve population and set a safe gather point rather than starting it as an emergency response. Use the Capitol for research. Research takes 40 seconds and costs 1,500 food, 1,500 wood.
A paired wagon delivery
Ruhrpott is a Revolution technology in Definitive Edition: The Baltic Powers for the German Confederation, researched at the Capitol. It costs 1,500 Food and 1,500 Wood, takes 40 seconds and requires the Frankfurt Assembly Home City Card. Completion delivers one Factory Wagon and one Coal Prospector Wagon. This is a substantial economic investment rather than an immediate army shipment.
Prepare sites and protect the wagons
Plan where both wagons will go before starting research. A Factory and a Coal Prospector site can expand production, but their payoff depends on surviving long enough to deploy and protect them. The Capitol and economy must also remain safe through the 40-second research. Ruhrpott belongs to the German Confederation Revolution path, not ordinary German play.
