Roman hospitalPrerequisites: Academy level 15, Main Building level 10. Available in Codex Victoria only. 

Hospital allows treating wounded troops so they can again become part of the army. This allows quicker rebuilding of losses after major battles. It’s not cheaper to heal; the costs are the same as for training new units; however, the healing time of wounded troops is half that of training a new unit.

What are “wounded” troops?

How can you heal wounded troops?

Hospital has a healing queue, that works in similar way to training queue in barracks or stable. Healing a unit costs the same as training new unit of that type. The time to heal depends on the level of hospital and is twice as fast as training. For example hospital at lvl 5 heals units in half the time as barracks/stable on lvl 5 train new units. However, the hospital is not affected by any bonuses to training time (like hero equipment, artifacts or alliance bonus). Both infantry and cavalry are healed using the same queue.

What if you don’t heal wounded?

10% of them will die each day. As soon as you add any unit to the healing queue, it cannot die anymore.
