When to research
Choose Yemeni Relations while the named economic source is active: Mercenary cost changed to 50% coin and 50% influence. Its value depends on workers, buildings or deliveries actually using that system, so compare the research investment with immediate production and switch plans if the source is exhausted or unsafe. Use the Mountain Monastery for research. This requires Arab Alliance. Research takes 30 seconds and costs 500 Influence.
Ethiopian mercenary payment change
Yemeni Relations is an Imperial Age Ethiopian technology at the Mountain Monastery after choosing the Arab Alliance. It costs 500 Influence and takes 30 seconds. It changes Mercenary costs to an even split of Coin and Influence. For example, a Mameluke that normally costs 400 Coin instead costs 200 Coin and 200 Influence.
Balance Coin against Influence
This technology does not simply make every Mercenary cheaper; it changes which resource pays for half the cost. Research it when the Ethiopian economy has Influence available and the player plans to recruit Mercenaries, especially if Coin is needed for other Imperial Age purchases. If Influence is scarce, the new split can make units harder to afford. The Arab Alliance prerequisite and Imperial Age timing make it a late specialization, so check the actual Mercenary roster and current resource balance before committing.
