Effect & research conditions

The technology costs 200 Food and 200 Coin and takes 40 seconds to research. Its effect lists two Outpost Wagons, +1 Experience for building a Wall and +10 Experience for building a Gate. The wagons need available population and protection as they travel; the Experience bonuses do not remove the resource and construction time required for fortifications.

Research condition

Exploration Age; Trading Post or Tambo on a Yoruba kingdom. Cost: 200 Food and 200 Coin. Research time: 40 seconds.

When to research

Research when an Outpost expansion and defensive construction both fit the plan. Keep population room for the wagons and escort them to positions that protect workers or an approach. The Wall and Gate rewards can support a defensive setup, but the cost and research time should be weighed against a direct army response.

Two Outpost Wagons and construction rewards

Yoruba Eredo Legacy is an Exploration Age technology researched at a Trading Post or Tambo on a Yoruba kingdom. For 200 Food and 200 Coin and 40 seconds, it delivers two Outpost Wagons and increases the recorded Experience reward for construction: +1 for a Wall and +10 for a Gate. The Wagons need available population and a safe route, while the structures still require resources, builders and construction time. The Experience bonus does not make fortifications free.

Make the defensive investment serve a purpose

Research when Outposts and a planned defensive line can protect workers, a route or a forward position. Escort the Wagons and place their structures where the army can reinforce them instead of scattering them across exposed ground. Building Walls and Gates only for the Experience return can waste resources if the map does not need the barrier. Compare the long 40-second research and its cost with the immediate defense required by the current match.
