School Skills
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.
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.
