Overview

Research is a decentralized process. Each house completes basic resource requirements at the University to Champion a Technology. Each house may only Champion one Technology at a time. This is not a competition; once a technology is Championed, it will become open to all of Egypt once completed.

Once a Technology is Championed, work begins at Laboratories built by players all across Egypt. Each Laboratory works independently on all of the currently Championed Technologies.

Each Technology will have an amount of time necessary for a Laboratory to finish the Research, and a specific number of Laboratories required to complete the Research and unlock the Technology. This number of Laboratories scales with the number of researches completed.

The In Game Calendar will show the number of Laboratories which are necessary, as well as the number which have already finished their research.

All Laboratories across Egypt contribute to all Technologies, regardless of House which Championed the Technology. Once the required number of Laboratories completes the research, the tech is unlocked, and all work on excess Laboratories is wasted.At any time, a Laboratory may become "Blocked", and the Laboratory will request additional resources to be added to this Laboratory for it to continue it's research. This Laboratory timer is paused, but does not have any affect on other Laboratories.

Use

Each House can choose to champion one technology at a time, and once a technology has been championed it's locked in place till all research has been completed. This requires interaction with Laboratories.

Scrolls of Wisdom

A Scroll of Wisdom can be found on the shelves outside a laboratory, and when brought to the University of Progress will reduce the requirements for future research.

It is not yet known if they are a part of the Temptation aspect of this tale, and thus a trap set by The Stranger, or if their use is exclusively beneficial by the reduction in necessary laboratories needed to research future technologies.

Current Championed Techs

List of currently championed techs and the number of research squares needed.

Sign Construction is a global tech, Guild Construction is a House tech.
