Forskning

In the Academy you can research new things such as technologies or new units for your city. These researches and subsequent discoveries only apply to the city that made them. Everything must be researched individually in every city which means it is very possible to have different research strategies in almost every city you have.

Research Points

Research points are a form of expendable resources. The more you expand the academy the higher the number of research points you have available. There is an upper limit of 160 per city. However you can receive 12 further research points through the building of the Library on a city. You should spend these wisely as it is impossible to research everything within a single city.

In the academy you can check under research points how many research points are available and what discoveries you have made so far.

Technology Research

The requirements that need to be met in order to research a technology, are:

• 'The level of the academy' - in the Academy you can check which academy level is required for this research.

• 'Sufficient research points' - if you hold the mouse over a particular research, it is indicated how many research points are required for this. These are deducted when you carry out the research.

• 'Sufficient raw materials' - the necessary raw materials required can also be seen in the tool hint.

• 'free places in the research building arc'

If all Prerequisites are fulfilled, you can click on the required research and the necessary points and resources are taken automatically. The research arc is then adjusted to suit.

All research orders follow on in logical order.

Above the table, you can see this pointer:

This indicates the current level of the academy. This allows you to see at a glance which Technologies are available. In this case, all researches that are in the first two columns could be carried out. With the pointer in the third column, The first 3 columns would be available, and so on.

Roll-back Research

It is possible to undo your research using a culture point, you can find culture points in the culture tab in the Agora!
