Research Screen
Introduction
The Research Screen is where you plan the research of new sciences and technologies.
1. Research is divided into disks that represent eras (I, II, III…).
2. Research is divided into four areas: Military, Science and Industry, Empire and Expansion,
and Economy and Population.
3. Each discovery unlocks a specific item in the game, from a City Improvement to an empire-
wide bonus. You can hover the cursor over a research icon to get information on what it
provides. The type of research is indicated by two icons underneath its image. For
example, the city icon and the thumb icon mean that this discovery will unlock a city
building that increases the city’s Approval. To select a new research simply click on its
icon (provided it is in an unlocked era).
4. You can click the zoom buttons or use the mouse wheel to zoom in/out and get a better
picture of the Research screen and individual items to research.
5. The statistics display how much a research will cost and the current empire Science
output.
6. The current research is displayed, as well as its progress and number of turns it will take
to complete it.
7. Research field.
