Third of the four research trees in Ikariam.
[edit] 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!
- Cost: 32 Research Points
- Effect: +50 housing space, +50 Happiness in the capital
- Prerequisite: None
[edit] 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!
- Cost: 30 Research Points
- Effect: 2% increase in research point output
- Prerequisite: Well Digging
[edit] 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. And in the event of war we could also try and have the town gates opened for us. Also, if our spies are still in their hometown they look for suspicious acting foreigners.
- Cost: 352 Research Points
- Effect: Allows the Building of Hideouts and the training of Spies.
- Prerequisite: Paper, Wealth
[edit] 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 workshop for all the noisy 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: 896 Research Points
- Effect: Allows the Building of Workshops
- Prerequisite: Espionage, Wine Press, Professional Army
[edit] 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!
- Cost: 1,144 Research Points
- Effect: Additional 4% increase in research point output. Note that this increase is cumulative, but not compounded - the total increase is 6%, not 6.08% [(1.02)*(1.04)]
- Prerequisite: Invention
[edit] 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: 2,904 Research Points
- Effect: Allows the Building of Museums
- Prerequisite: Ink, Culinary Specialities
[edit] 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: 6,048 Research Points
- Effect: Allows the Recruiting of Doctors in the Barracks
- Prerequisite: Cultural Exchange
[edit] Glass
Many useful things can be made out of glass. With magnifying glasses, microscopes and many other devices our scientists can work even better. Of course often things break in a laboratory but with enough crystal glass we can substantially bring forward our research!
- Cost: 13,440 Research Points
- Effect: Allows the usage of Crystal Glass to accelerate research in the Academy
- Prerequisite: Anatomy, Market
[edit] 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!
- Cost: 21,000 Research Points
- Effect: Additional 8% increase in research point output for a new total of 14%
- Prerequisite: Glass
[edit] 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.
- Cost: 67,080 Research Points
- Effect: Allows the Building of Gyrocopters in the Barracks
- Prerequisite: Mechanical Pen, Governor
[edit] Letter Chute
A marvel: We can now shoot scrolls through pipes, so that they reach our scientists even faster! This saves us long errands and we have to pay less gold for our scientists!
- Cost: 165,600 Research Points
- Effect: 1 Gold upkeep less per scientist
- Prerequisite: Bird's Flight, Helping Hands
[edit] Pressure Chamber
Now we can let our ships sail under water, without them sinking immediately! The Oceans are ours! No enemy will see us, when we stalk them under water and sink them before they notice us!
- Cost: 213,600 Research Points
- Effect: Allows the Building of Diving Boats in the Shipyard
- Prerequisite: Letter Chute, Utopia, Robotics
[edit] 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: 144,000 Research Points
- Effect: Allows the Building of Bombardiers in the Barracks
- Prerequisite: Pressure Chamber
[edit] Scientific Future
The smartest brains in the world are working to answer the big question: Why are we here? Why is everything the way it is? And again we are closer to enlightenment.
- Cost: 439,200 Research Points
- Effect: 2% more research points.
