## Usage Patterns

Slot into a Governor Villa or Officium covering tower defenses to reduce workforce needs by 35%, slash upkeep by 80%, and switch the workforce type from Libertus to Equites. This makes towers far more economical and shifts the labor burden to a different population tier.

## Common Pitfalls

Misplaced radius leads to zero value; only affects Towers in range. Ensure you have sufficient Equites workforce available before applying this specialist, as the workforce type change means Libertus workers will no longer be used for affected towers.
