Card Description
Federal card empresarios Empresarios Hacienda Settler spawn time -15%; Ships 1 Hacienda Wagon
Federal card land of zaragoza Land of Zaragoza The General's Inspiring Flag ability cooldown reduced to 4 seconds; Inspiring Flags further increases the work rate of military buildings by 25%

Strategy[]

Coahuila is a federal state that focuses on unit production, which is reflected in both of their Federal Cards. Coahuila also ships 500 wood, which can be used for buildings, navy, technologies, or artillery.

Coahuila may be preferred if the player needs to boom the economy in the middle game, as Empresarios makes Haciendas spam Settlers faster. This makes Coahuila also a good federal state if the player is going to revolt with Fortress or Industrial Age revolutions, as it will help to reboom. The Fortress Age revolutions (Rio Grande and Yucatán) are the most favored, as they can only produce villagers at haciendas. The Empresarios federal card also makes Coahuila a good follow-up state for almost all Commerce age Federal States except Michoacán, as this shipment makes a good combo with all Hacienda-related shipments from Commerce Age Federal States.

Land of Zaragoza allows the inspiring flag to boost military production of nearby military buildings. While this effect is focalized to just the area of the Inspiring Flag, it does help to mass an army for offensive or defensive purposes. It also reduces the cooldown of the Inspiring Flag ability, which makes great synergy with other Inspiring Flag shipments, as this allows it to use the Inspiring Flag more often.
