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 four categories:
Seafaring , Economy , Science and Military
Researches
Well Construction / Well Digging
Eureka! A well in our settlement! Now we don't have to wait for rain all the time. Our citizens will be much better off and the fields don't have to be dry for that long! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Paper
We have found a way how to write down our knowledge! Now we have scriptures made from the papyrus plant, so we don't have to chisel our words into the heavy stones anymore in order to fill our library! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Espionage
When some of our citizens settle down in other towns, they can help us to keep an eye on our neighbors. We could keep ourselves informed when a neighbor makes a discovery or what kind of resources he has in stock. | |
Cost: | 420 ![]() |

Effect: | Allows: Building of Hideout's.
Allows: Foreign Cultures ( Seafaring ) |
Requirement(s): | Paper ( Science )
Wealth ( Economy ) |
Polytheism
Man cannot rationally explain everything that happens in the world. And whenever he cannot explain it, the answer is sought from the gods. Gods are like humans on the one hand, but are very different on the other hand. After all, what other kind of rational explanation can the unexplainable have? | |

Ink
Nature gives us everything we need to write: The birds give us their feathers and eight-armed fish out of the sea provide us with their black ink! Now we can write down our ideas even better! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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. | |
Cost: | 2,836 ![]() |

Effect: | Allows: Starting a Revolution:
|
Requirement(s): | Ink ( Science ) |
Invention
There has recently been a number of incidents related to exploding powder and other substances. That's why we have set up an own Workshops for all the nosy scientists, so that all the explosions don't disturb the work in the academy any more. It also has stronger walls and can't burn down so easily. | |
Cost: | 4,320 ![]() |
---|---|
Effect: | Allows: Construction of Workshop's. |
Requirement(s): | Government Formation ( Science )
Improved Resource Gathering ( Economy ) |
Cultural Exchange
Our citizens should really have a look at the cultural achievements of other people. And surely, in exchange, they will be interested in learning from us and exhibiting some of our great works of art in their museums. | |
Cost: | 8,694 ![]() |
---|---|
Effect: | Allows: Construction of Museum's.
|
Requirement(s) | Invention ( Science ) |
Anatomy
We have learned a lot about the human body! Now we can send doctors into the battle to help the wounded soldiers to quickly get back on to their feet again. Of course they can mix the right tinctures and some doctors even know a secret recipe for a mixture that makes our fighters even braver. | |
Cost: | 14,952 ![]() |
---|---|
Effect: | Allows: Training of Doctor's in the Barracks'. |
Requirement(s): | Cultural Exchange ( Science ) |
Optics
When our scientists invent many new things, a glass can break. Or it gets lost in the infinite vastness of our laboratories, as keeping them tidy isn't really the primal virtue of the academy. If an optician would take care of not only the quality, but also that all the lenses and glasses are put back where they belong, we would use far less crystal glass! | |
Cost: | 21,360 ![]() |

Effect: | Allows: Construction of Optician's. |
Requirement(s): | Anatomy ( Science )
Architecture ( Economy ) |
Experiments
Our scientists want to have the chance of testing their theories in practice. These trials would most probably accelerate research time, but does mean they would need a certain amount of additional laboratory equipment. | |

Mechanical Pen
A brilliant little apparatus: A smart inventor has managed to teach writing to a machine. Now we can easily copy our scriptures and our academies can quickly exchange their ideas with each other! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Bird's Flight
We have learned how to fly like the birds! Now we can build a machine that can lift a man up into the skies and whizzes above the heads of our enemies with breath-taking speed shooting arrows far behind the front lines. | |

Requirement(s): | State Religion ( Science )
Paddle Wheel Engine ( Seafaring ) Robotics ( Military ) |
The Archimedean Principle / The Archimedic Principle
We have managed to let a machine fly! Now even the sky isn't a limit anymore! We can let huge balloons fly over the heads of our enemies and throw fire or bee-hives at them from above! | |
Cost: | 444,000 ![]() |
