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.
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.
