Castle Rickshaw

In the game's words

How to use it

Various kinds of rickshaws can be used to construct buildings for the Asian civilizations, similar to how wagons work for the Europeans. They can very quickly create a variety of buildings for free, such as Docks, Cherry Orchards, Rice Paddies, Dojos, Mango Groves and Castles.

History

Contrary to popular belief, rickshaws did not originate in the East and were not even glimpsed there until the mid-nineteenth century. The name itself, “rickshaw,” is not specifically linked to any specific conveyance, but rather to the idea behind it: Japanese “jinrikisha,” literally meaning a human-powered vehicle. The rickshaw first appeared in Japan around 1868, during the Meiji period. Its speed and low cost of operation quickly made it the preferred form of transportation, and by 1872, the city of Tokyo was home to about 40,000 rickshaws. Soon after its introduction in Japan, the rickshaw appeared on the streets of India. It was primarily used by Chinese traders to ship goods; but in 1914, the Chinese applied for permission to use rickshaws as a method of human transport. Once that occurred, the rickshaw became a common sight in most major Asian cities.
