The Shrine Wagon is a rickshaw in Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties that is unique to the Japanese and can only be shipped from the Home City. It builds a Shrine for free.
Overview[]
The Shrine Wagon is a highly cost-effective way to build Shrines in early game, allowing the player to save 250 wood, 500 wood, or 625 wood. Also, when properly placed (in essence, close to large herds of animals), they can provide players with enormous early advantages.
