Effect & research conditions
It costs 200 Food and 200 Wood and takes 40 seconds. Mill, Estate, Farm, Rice Paddy and Hacienda costs and build times are reduced by 30%. Field cost is reduced by 30% and its build time by 15%. The effect applies only to these named structures; it is not a universal discount on the civilization’s buildings.
Research condition
Exploration Age; Trading Post or Tambo on a Sudanese kingdom. Cost: 200 Food and 200 Wood; research time: 40 seconds.
When to research
Research before placing several eligible buildings so the discount applies to the expansion plan. It is more valuable when the player expects to build multiple Fields or economic structures, and less valuable if the army needs immediate resources or only one listed building is planned. Account for the 40-second research before starting a timed expansion.
Construction savings differ by structure
The five named economic buildings receive both a cost and build-time reduction, while Fields receive the full 30% cost reduction and a smaller 15% time reduction. This distinction matters when planning an expansion under pressure: the upgrade saves resources across the listed set but does not accelerate every structure equally. Research before construction to realize the intended benefit.
