Couriers is always worth getting, as it affects all of the core units of an Inca army. Slingers and Kamayuks, normally slow, become relatively fast with both [[Squires]] and Couriers researched. It is important to not fall for the trap of researching a rather inactive technology such as Couriers instead of something more useful, such as Blacksmith upgrades, Elite upgrades, and most importantly, actually making troops. Having faster soldiers doesn't do much good if the player does not have any soldiers to reap the benefits. Couriers also benefits Eagle Warriors making the fastest of the eagle warriors of the game enabling for them to perform better hit and run tactics and raids but they are still comparatively weak than the Aztec or Mayan Eagle warriors.

It is important to not fall for the trap of researching a rather inactive technology such as Couriers instead of something more useful, such as Blacksmith upgrades, elite upgrades, and most importantly, actually making troops. Couriers also benefits Eagle Warriors, making them perform even better against cavalry and archers. It also supports the hit-and-run-strategy quite nicely, but the Incan Eagle Warrior still seems comparably weak to their Aztec and Mayan counterparts.
