Skills can be self-taught by doing activities, learned at Schools by paying tuition, or learned at Universities after the necessary Technology research completes. Some of the skills learned at Schools or at Universities may also be advanced by doing activities.

The skills listed on this page are those which are advanced by doing activities, or those skills which contribute new functionality to the action skills. For a complete listing of skills purchased from Schools and their tuition requirements, see School Skills.

Miscellaneous Skills

Self-Taught Skills

These skills are initially learned through your own actions (mostly during or shortly after Passage to Egypt) rather than being learned from Schools or Universities. Additional levels are reached through using the skill and, in some cases, additional levels are made available through purchase from Schools and research of Technologies at Universities.
