Fortress Age timing
The Exiled Prince is a Fortress Age politician for eligible European civilizations, excluding British, Italians, Maltese and Spanish. Its listed age-up cost is 1,200 Food and 1,000 Coin. The original version researches it in 40 seconds; Definitive Edition increased the advance time to 45 seconds and removed the Home City level requirement. The reward itself depends on the civilization’s age-up selection, so consult the matching civilization profile before expecting a specific unit or resource delivery. Choose the Exiled Prince when its reward is worth the longer transition time compared with another available politician.
Reward and civilization eligibility
The Exiled Prince is one of the Fortress Age politicians and is available to eligible European civilizations except the British, Italians, Maltese and Spanish. The advance costs 1,200 Food and 1,000 Coin; its reward is civilization-specific and should be read from the active age-up choice. Definitive Edition removed the Home City level requirement, making access independent of city level, but the 45-second age-up time remains. Plan the transition when the chosen reward can be used immediately, since the resources are committed during the advance and cannot support an urgent army queue.
Planning the transition
The politician’s 1,200 Food and 1,000 Coin cost commits much of the Fortress Age transition economy. The original 40-second research time became 45 seconds in Definitive Edition, and the old Home City level requirement was removed. Check the exact reward shown for the civilization, then begin the age-up when the force can protect the settlement through the longer research window.
Civilization-specific politician reward
The Exiled Prince does not provide one fixed reward across all Europeans; the selected politician’s shipment or effect follows the civilization’s age-up tree. Use the Age-up selection screen as the authority for the current reward, especially when comparing older guides. The 45-second Definitive Edition transition also gives opponents time to pressure the base, so begin only when the reward and defensive plan are ready.
