-<br>In previous tales, to get access to technologies--someone has to unlock the tech at a University. In T8, there is an additional way: your faction can earn the loyalty of the scientists at a university, by giving tribute to the region. If your faction is successful at earning the loyalty of the scientists, then all members of your faction will have access to techs that university has seen unlocked. Members of the faction that previously had the loyalty of the university will lose access to the tech unless THEY were the ones to originally unlock the tech (and so have access to the tech at their home region universities) or they can earn back the loyalty of the scientists.

There are 13 capture-able universities across the map for each discipline (worship, art, leadership, etc). Universities retain knowledge they have learned. By capturing another faction's University with techs which haven't been unlocked by the capturing faction, players can learn it from the captured University.

 <br>In previous tales, each Egypt region had to unlock techs by progressing down a tech tree that was identical for all regions. In Tale 8, each faction has its own tech tree. These trees are identical but in two ways.
 *1) The tech trees are almost identical, how you unlock the techs in the tree might vary from faction to faction. These will be the same techs we are used to unlocking through research.
-*2) as the techs become more advance, you get a few faction-specific modifiers. Note these modifiers are not as big in scope as techs. These modifiers are "minor perks ... they are not meant to cripple you if you dont have them"--Malard (Discord). This is seperate and new from the techs that we have been used to.

-An example might be the following. Tech: Viticulture tech unlocks buildings and access to growing vines for wine. Faction-specific modifiers: Grapes grow 1% faster. There is more than just the normal Unis. There is a faction-specific Uni, with faction specific modifications or mods.  Elders decide which mod you can work on each month, and over the course of the game, each faction will become more diverse.  The mods will need to be donated to and unlocked, like techs.  So for example, chariot frequency is a tiered mod.  You can only advance it once per month, at the exclusion of other mods.  So you could end up pushing hard and having a faction that is really efficient at using chariot stops.  But another faction is really good at test unlock speed,  i.e. the time between when the timer starts and ends.  Those are not learned--you inherit them for being in the faction.  Make sure your elders pick wisely :smiley: consider there are 18 possible advancements in the faction tree.  These are minor modifications.  They are not meant to cripple you if you don't have them.  The mod trees are identical, but how you unlock them is not.  Also, it is not possible for one faction to unlock all of them.  The Elders must choose wisely. If you're slow about it, you could lose an unlock period. If it takes you 2 months to unlock, then you've lost one of your mods. They will range from raft sailing distance, to chariot speed, to slightly better quality of items produced on an anvil.

 <br>'''''The only thing I CANNOT do in another faction's region is learn their techs? And hear the faction chat?'''''
 <br>Correct. Well, depends what laws you pass, as a faction. 90% of this mechanic change is a layer on top of the existing game. Faction selection is important, but no different than if you were in LoR or OE. Guilds still exist. You could have a guild across factions. More Elders can be elected, but how often is not yet disclosed.

 Factions require work in order to continue reaping their rewards. Every player has a faction standing, and a faction rank. Faction standing is a point total based on what you do. It can go down or up, depending on if you do things that are favored or not favored in your faction. The game will tell you when you have done something favored or not favored for your faction.

 <br>'''''Can you learn, get kicked, join a new faction and teach those techs? '''''
 <br>You don't need to leave to teach someone else, but your faction's rating will go down, more on that later. You can only learn from Unis that are in your faction. So if you are a Nomad, that's an end to your tech learning ability. Being a Nomad is effectively being kicked from the game. (It only applies to Unis. Schools are neutral.)
