Research

From the developer

• universities are faction specific
• you cannot learn tech from universities your faction does not control
• each faction has its own tech tree
• remember, before there was 15 regions, each with their own tech tree
• (Question: But skills you learn are transferable if you change faction?) if you know the knowledge, you can take it with you sure
• also, all the unis are not in your home regions
• many unis are neutral, until you capture the region
• when you capture it, you can learn anything it knows
• you dont need to leave to teach someone else, but your faction 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, thats an end to your tech learning ability, being a Nomad is effectively being kicked from the game
• the more unis you control, the cheaper research becomes. there are 13 capturable unis across the map for each type (worship, art, leadership, arch, etc)
• unis remember what they have learnt, so if you capture another factions uni, and they had unlocked something you dont, you can go and learn it from that uni
• but you will still need to discover it properly before you can unlock the next branch

• (Question: So how do you capture something?) was waiting for someone to ask that, regions demand tribute, thats all i will say on that matter,
