Research


As time goes by, your civilization will learn about new things and provide you with some permanent improvements.
These can teach you to construct new types of buildings, crafting better weapons and finding more useful ways to extract resources.

Research Centre

After 20-30 minutes of playtime, you will be able to construct a building called the Research Centre in your village.

This building will unlock a new tab in the game called Research, in which you can choose to specialize your research in different areas.
There are four research areas: infrastructure, resources, combat and science.


Tab

You can find the research tab in the menu above the content area.
When looking under the research tab, you will notice that different research areas are listed against each other.

Slider

You can choose to perform a faster research in a certain category by moving the slider in the middle towards one of the categories.

Slider

Sliders have two directions, which can be set between 1-100%. Both sides of a research slider will be researched at the same time, but only at the specified amounts of the slider. The more you upgrade your Research centre, the longer you can drag the slider in both directions.


Notice while you drag that the percent numbers above the slider is changing accordingly.

Now press the upgrade button to update your change. The red background indicates how far you are able to drag the slider.

Research Categories

Every now and then new research will turn up on the timelines for each category.
From here you can view the improvements that you will be getting in the nearest future.

You can then hover the improvements to view more detailed information about them.
Most improvements also have several ranks, that will boost your civilization multiple times.
