It’s within reason to start trading in the middle of castle age, usually in a trickle which leads to consistent carts, and often enough you’ll stop at 25 or so carts which doesn’t take very long at all. It’s certainly possible that half or more of the trade carts would be created by the time imperial has begun research, let alone reached.

Usually, you trade in imp, and Italians have a cheaper age up, so they can easily wait a bit. But even if you need to trade sooner, you can still benefit from the tech if you need to train more than 10 carts, considering that most likely some will die, and you will need to replace them.

Utilizing the ‘select all carts/cogs’ hotkey goes a long way in microing said carts. Keeping them in a group and keeping them useful in open raidable terrain is key until a good wall is up.

Exactly, your enemy will get less value by killing them.
