Description

The Academy is a sublime place full of knowledge which combines old traditions with modern technology. The wisest heads of your town await entrance! Consider that every scientist needs his own laboratory which costs money. The larger the academy the more scientists you can employ at the same time.

Building Information

The Academy is one of the most important buildings in a town. It is the place of learning for your capital or colonies. Each scientist produces 1 Research small research point per hour, but also costs 9 Gold small in upkeep ( -3 Gold small for the loss of each Icon citizen and -6 Gold small for the cost of each Scientist small). This value will be taken out of your income, instead of adding to your upkeep.

Throughout your colonies, all your academies pool all their research points together; you can then use these points to "buy" a technology via your research adviser. Having more academies means that it will take less time to research any technology. Therefore it is a good idea to build an Academy in each city.

Experiments

Experimants take place in the Academy when the player completes the research Experiments ( Science ).

Expansion Details

The time (in seconds) it takes to upgrade to the next level is determined by the following formula: $ { \text{Building time (seconds)} = \left \lbrack 1,440 \times 1.2 ^ \text{Level} - 720 \right \rbrack } $

Level 1 does not follow this formula, as its build time was shortened by 16 minutes 23 seconds (983s)
when it was added to the in-game tutorial.

The accumulative time (in seconds) it takes to upgrade up to the next level is determined by the following formula: $ { \text{Accumulative building time (seconds)} = \left \lbrack 8,640 \times \left (\ 1.2 ^ \text{Level} -\ 1\ \right )\ - 720 \times \text{Level}\ \right \rbrack -\ 983} $

Level 1 does follow this formula.

Expansion details

Research and Reduction Building bonuses are shown in the following charts by mousing-over over the research abbreviations (P – G – SL – MR) in the chart.

  • You can mouse-over the letters in the "Minimum Minimum" column to see how many Warehouses are needed for that level.
  • You can also mouse-over the numbers in the "Build Time small" column to get the longer version of what the numbers/Letters represent.

Ikariam Plus options that increase the production of resources
These increases are separate and in addition to the production buildings, for 7 day increments,
making the maximum possible increase in production 84%.
Steam Crystal Drill increases your Crystal small production by an additional 20%, for 5 Ambrosia
Steam Hammer increases your Marble small production by an additional 20%, for 8 Ambrosia

Remember
  1. One (1) dump is equal to four (4) warehouse of the same level, level 40 max.
  2. You can have a maximum of four (4) warehouses and one (1) dump, for a maximum of eight (8) "virtual" warehouses, per town.
