Meiji Restoration allows the player to save 4,000 food and 4,000 coin. While it can be hard to accumulate 4,000 export, especially if the player is tempted to use it in units or research, such as Bushido Principles, should the player manage to invest in this research at the right time, they can save gigantic amounts of resources and time, as they also free Villagers from building a Wonder, and they will provide themselves with an enormous late game advantage.
