Rural Defense
Rural Defense is a Village technology that produces two Irregulars at the researching Village. It provides a quick local response for the Asian Village-defense system, rather than a lasting unit upgrade.

Research effect
The recorded Chinese option is available in the Commerce Age and costs 50 Food and 50 Coin for five seconds of research. Because the Irregulars appear at the Village, they can reach nearby workers or a route quickly; population room and the building’s position determine whether that reinforcement is useful.
Research condition
Chinese Village-defense option · Commerce Age · Village · 50 Food · 50 Coin · 5 seconds · produces 2 Irregulars.
Cost and prerequisites
Use the pair to delay a small attack, cover a worker line or hold a nearby objective while the main army responds. Research before the attackers arrive, then group the Irregulars with other defenders. They buy time; they do not replace a prepared army against a larger force. Check the active card and civilization rules before assuming access outside the listed Chinese setup.
