Description[]

Angle, Compass and Yardstick: The Architect's Office provides everything needed for building straight walls and stable roofs. And a well-planned house needs a lot less marble than a skew one.

Every level of the Architect's Office lowers demand for by 1% per expansion (only in the town it is built).

This building will affect the cost of all buildings except for the Academy and the Temple.
Some buildings will not be affected at the lower levels as they only cost to build or upgrade.
This building will not affect the costs for units or ships, nor for donations to the Miracle on the island.

Explanation of Reduction Buildings

All reduction buildings add their deduction percentage to that given by Pulley, Geometry and Spirit Level. This means the actual discount is an additional 1% per level of the reduction building, plus the reduction from the level of research you have completed. For example, a Level 1 reduction building combined with Pulley has a net of 3% reduction, with Geometry there is a net of 7%, and with Spirit Level there is a net of 15%. With the maximum level of reduction buildings (Level 50, 50% reduction) and Spirit Level (14%), the maximum reduction for that resource is 64%. This means you use only 36% of the original cost.

The time (in seconds) it takes to upgrade to the next level is determined by the following formula:

${ \text{Building time (seconds)} = \left \lbrack \cfrac{125,660}{37} \times 1.06^\text{Level} - 2,628\right \rbrack }$

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 \cfrac{6,659,980}{111} \times \left (\ 1.06^\text{Level} -\ 1\ \right ) - 2,628 \times \text{Level}\right \rbrack}

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

Researches that reduce resource requirements for buildings.

Pulley ( Economy ) reduces the required amount of resources by 2%. Geometry ( Economy ) reduces the required amount of resources by 4% (6% total). Spirit Level ( Economy ) reduces the required amount of resources by 8% (14% total).

Buildings that reduce the demand for resources.

These reductions are separate and in addition to the researches, for up to an additional 50% reduction.
providing a minimum of 64% reduction in resources.

These increases are separate and in addition to the production buildings, for 7 day increments,
making the maximum possible increase in production 172%.
