Description

Technocracy is a government ruled by experts - at Ikariam these are the scientists and researchers.

Game note:

Technocracy is especially suited for inquisitive or over productive island kingdoms.

Advantages

1. +5% (+.05) research points.

   Formula:
   ${ \left( { \color { Blue } Number ~of ~scientists } \times { \color { green } Research ~increase ~\% } \right ) }$
   ${ \times 1.05 ~or ~5 \% ~increase = { \color { Blue } Research ~point ~production } }$

2. +20% productivity of assistant workers.

   Formula:
   ${{\color {Blue}Number~of~Helping~Hands~workers}\times \left(.25~or~25\%\right)}$
   ${ \times 1.2 ~or ~20 \% ~increase \times \left ( { \color { Green } Production ~Buildings ~\%} \right ) }$
   ${ = { \color { Blue } Helping ~Hands ~production } }$

With Technocracy:

Your Helping Hands increase production by +15% rather than the normal +12.5%.

Disadvantages

+1 gold upkeep per hour for each scientist.

With Xenocracy

If your capital is ever occupied, the form of government will switch to Xenocracy. However this occurs without a revolution or costs.

Game notes:

1. Xenocracy means that you only achieve half of the advantages of your actual form of government. The same goes for the disadvantage effects of your form of government.
2. As soon as your capital has been liberated, you will have the full effects of the advantages and disadvantages of your form of government again. This will happen without a revolution or costs.
3. Xenocracy does NOT affect Anarchy, you will continue to have its full effects, if your capital becomes occupied while you are under Anarchy.

WikIkariam note

Xenocracy only occurs when your Capital has become occupied by another player and does not change your current government but just halves (½) the advantages and disadvantages of the current government.

Advantages because of Xenocracy

1. +2.5% (+.025) research points.

   Formula:
   ${ \left( { \color { Blue } Number ~of ~scientists } \times { \color { green } Research ~increase ~\% } \right ) }$
   ${ \times 1.025 ~or ~2.5 \% ~increase = { \color { Blue } Research ~point ~production } }$

2. +10% productivity of assistant workers.

   Formula:
   ${{\color {Blue}Number~of~Helping~Hands~workers}\times \left(.25~or~25\%\right)}$
   ${ \times 1.1 ~or ~10 \% ~increase \times \left ( { \color { Green } Production ~Buildings ~\% } \right ) }$
   ${ = { \color { Blue } Helping ~Hands ~production } }$

With Technocracy:

Your Helping Hands increase production by +13.75% rather than the normal +12.5%.

Disadvantages because of Xenocracy

+0.5 gold upkeep per hour for each scientist.
