Technology branches

Allows you to choose where your research is headed

Three technology branches appear, on Technologies, after you research Specialization:

• Economy;
• Science; and
• Military.

Knowledge can be invested into the branches to access new technologies, gain bonuses and provide legacy.

• Technologies that are accessed by investing Knowledge, include:
  • economy technologies – by invest into Economy;
  • science technologies – by invest into Science;
  • military technologies – by invest into Military;
  • neutral technologies – by invest into a choice of branches;
  • multi-branch technologies – by invest into more than one branch; and
  • mastery technologies – by invest into the relevant branch.

Economy

Economy is a lucrative force. Prosperity and wealth await those who seek to harness it.

Economy on Technologies

You can invest Knowledge into Economy, on Technologies.

• Economy appears on Technologies, after you research Specialization.

• Knowledge invested into Economy:
  • gives access to some technologies;
  • increases Global production; and
  • gains Legacy.

Access to technologies

• Knowledge invested into Economy, gives access to:
  • economy technologies;
  • some neutral technologies;
  • some multi-branch technologies; and
  • some mastery technologies.

Bonus

Knowledge invested into Economy, increases Global production.

• An addition is made to Global production, every time Knowledge is invested.
  • After 1 000 Knowledge is invested, an increment of approximately +1% is made to Global production.
  • Every additional 1 000 Knowledge, increases Global production by slightly less.

% bonus from Knowledge invested in Economy:
( 200 × K ) ÷ [ K + ( 2 × E ) + 200 000 ]
where 'K' is increase in Knowledge invested and 'E' is total Knowledge invested in Economy.

Science

Science leads humanity forward, its progress can be slow but it never stops evolving

Science on Technologies

You can invest Knowledge into Science, on Technologies.

• Science appears on Technologies, after you research Specialization.

• Knowledge invested into Science:
  • gives access to some technologies;
  • increases Craft efficiency; and
  • gains Legacy.

Access to technologies

• Knowledge invested into Science, gives access to:
  • science technologies;
  • some neutral technologies;
  • some multi-branch technologies; and
  • some mastery technologies.

Bonus

Knowledge invested into Science, increases Craft efficiency.

• An addition is made to Craft efficiency every time Knowledge is invested.
  • After a 1 000 Knowledge is invested, an increment of approximately +1.5% is made to efficiency.
  • Every additional 1 000 Knowledge, increases Craft efficiency by slightly less.

% bonus from Knowledge invested in Science:
( 300 × K ) ÷ [ K + ( 2 × S ) + 200 000 ]
where 'K' is increase in Knowledge invested and 'S' is total Knowledge invested in Science

Military

There are times, when only the most powerful get what they want, is that you?

Military on Technologies

You can invest Knowledge into Military, on Technologies.

• Military appears on Technologies, after you research Specialization.

• Knowledge invested into Military:
  • gives access to some technologies;
  • gives a bonus to the Attack and Hp of military units; and
  • gains Legacy.

Access to technologies

• Knowledge invested into Military, gives access to:
  • military technologies;
  • some neutral technologies;
  • some multi-branch technologies; and
  • some mastery technologies.

Bonus

Knowledge invested into Military, provides a bonus to some specifications of military units.

• Bonuses are gained every time Knowledge is invested.
  • After a 1 000 Knowledge is invested, an increment of approximately +2% is made to the Attack and Hp of military units.
  • Every additional 1 000 Knowledge invested, increases Attack and Hp by slightly less.

% bonus from Knowledge invested in Military:
( 400 × K ) ÷ [ K + ( 2 × M ) + 200 000 ]
where 'K' is increase in Knowledge invested and 'M' is total Knowledge invested in Military

Legacy provided

• Every 1 000 Knowledge invested into a technology branch gains 1 Legacy, before any bonuses, when you explore a new continent.

Legacy provided:
Invest	Legacy
1 000 Knowledge	1

Other factors increment Legacy provided.
