When to research
Visit of the Seven Houses provides an immediate reinforcement: 1 Insurgente for every House built (up to 40). 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 Cathedral for research. Research takes 30 seconds.
Mexican House-count reward
Visit of the Seven Houses is a Mexican Commerce Age technology researched at the Cathedral. It takes 30 seconds and sends one Insurgente for every House already built, up to a maximum of 40. The payout depends on the current House count, so it rewards a developed settlement and does not continuously produce more units after research.
Build first, then claim the force
The timing decision is simple but consequential: research after building the Houses whose count should determine the shipment. If the army needs an immediate defensive group, the technology can turn ordinary population support into a large one-time force. The 40-unit cap means extra Houses beyond that do not increase the reward. Prepare the Home City gather point and ensure there is population space before starting the research. Building Houses solely for the shipment may be expensive, so compare their Wood cost with producing Insurgentes through normal military infrastructure.
