Improve reasearch

Ok, I just experimented with this and it works. Instead of increasing the level of your Academy constantly in your capital, once you have a colony build one there. The resources are much less to get the academy going and when you employ the scientists they help towards achieving the current goal.

I just made a level 1 academy on my colony and it took my research time for Greek Fire from over 1 day down to 21 hours. Resources only need wood, going for level 2 academy now on my colony.

You can essential 1/2 your research time and save resources by building a second academy.

That is a good idea. I have academies in all of my colonies going. All lvl 6, but it stills takes a while to research the upper portions of the trees.

**Catman1975** · 03-30-2008, 01:58 PM

yeah I have three research academies all at level 9 and glass is still another 1 1/2 days away

**Tarenth** · 03-31-2008, 03:57 AM

Um...that's kinda simple math really.

If you have twice the number of academies you'll receive twice the number of research points. Double the research points will halve your research time.

I have two level 8 academies (yay crystal island!) and I'm working on the wood to get a third colony set up on a wine island.

Catman, shift your research focus, glass is bugged and doesnt work.

**KillDaddy** · 03-31-2008, 04:14 AM

according to the boards it does.

Yeah that's what I was just reading.

Well at this point I"m only 12 1/2 hours away, I'm going to go ahead and finish it and I'll report back once I find out.

I think they may have changed glass.

According to the features of 0.2.0 glass can now be used to finish research with a cost depending on how much progress has already been made. That might mean they exponentially increased the value at a slope so that you can finish off new tech research quickly after it reaches a certain point. Seems like the 1:1 exchange is still in place to speed up research, but what you covert to RP isn't deducted from the 'quick buy' option.

**Catman1975** · 03-31-2008, 11:52 AM

Cat's switching from glass and will research later. with the 0.2 patch apparently you have to have all the crystal saved to finish a research project as opposed to buying it down over time/as you have crystal.

ok if this is 100% true, crystal has just become the most desired commodity

I keep pumping out those scientist, I'm far enough in the research, and only a hour may come off with each upgrade. One level 10, one level 9, and a level 6 in about an hour.
