Skills can be self-taught by doing activities, learned at Schools by paying tuition, or learned at Universities after your faction completes the necessary Technology research donations. Some of the skills learned at Schools or at Universities may also be advanced by doing activities.
This page covers self-taught skills and skills learned at Schools. Skills learned at Universities may be found on the Technologies page.
