Rural Defense

"Call a group of Irregulars to defend this colony!"

- In-game description

Rural Defense is a technology in Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties that can be researched by Asian civilizations at the Village once the Village Defense Home City Card has been sent, which spawns two Irregulars to defend the Village from enemy attack.

Unlike other technologies, Rural Defense is available on each and every Villages the player have, but can only be researched once as with other technologies.
