The basics of game......Part II

     

Hello... every one…. in this post I am going to deal with researches.

In my earlier post you must have known how important resources are. They are used for performing researches.

The library is a building where the most basic and the important researches are done. In the starting of the game you can always find a building next to the city which is the library.

There are 5 types of researches available in the library. Each type has 7 researches in it. 

                                                                       Library 

Researches available in the library (zoomed) 

 You can see a set of researches in the above picture, there are 5 vertical columns each having 7 researches (horizontally). You can research the next only if you complete the research before it (sideways). These vertical columns are the 5 different types of researches namely (from the top):

1.  Age (Gold)

2. Military (Red)

3. Civics (Blue)

4. Economics (Green)

5. Science (Yellow)

1. Age - This research advances you through the 7 age available in the game. You can see roman numerals like II, III, and VIII etc. These are the number of ages in the game. The Ancient age or Age I cannot be seen because we start the game in the ancient age. To research an age you should perform some researches from the other four types of researches. Advance in age gives you availability of more modern new military unit, technology, and nation powers (a unique power or ability each nation, exp. Bantu has the power of migration).

2. Military - This research increases your nation's population limit, it is the maximum population a nation can have. Researching military can let you upgrade your units after an age is researched.

3. Civics -This research increases the maximum number of cities your nation can have. It requires to be researched frequently to enable your temple to research more and more. Most importantly it increases your national borders.

4. Commerce -This research is an important one because researching it would increase the maximum rate of gathering any resource, by increasing the commerce cap limit (The rate of gathering of any resource). 

5. Science - This is an awesome type of research because researching it decreases the cost of all technological researches by 10% and increases the speed of research by 10%. It increases the line of sight (The area of vision of a unit) of most units. It is needed for almost all economical upgrades (resource upgrades).

Researches in other fields.........

There are lot of researches in other fields too, such as units upgrade researches in barracks, docks, airbase, stable etc I will post about it in my next post.
