This article is about the Science line of research.

Description[]

By completing researches with the research adviser you can unlock new buildings, units, ships and special effects.  To complete a research topic you need research points, which you can produce in the Academy.

The research topics are divided up into the five categories:  Seafaring ,  Economy ,  Science ,  Military  and  Mythology

Government Formation[]

We have been thinking about the fact that a different form of government could give us special advantages.  To do so there would be quite a lot to organize and we would possibly have to cut down on some staff, but it would be great to have that kind of government.
