In the Stockpiles panel of the Empire Screen, select a stockpile and click on it to activate it. Food
and Industry stockpiles will require you to select a target city, while Science stockpiles are directly
applied to your empire’s research.
Food Stockpiles grant additional growth to the target city. Industry stockpiles do the same for
Industry. Science stockpiles make your empire research progress more rapidly.
Empire Plan
The Empire Plan is the interface which allows you to set major strategic medium-term directions
for your empire. The plan is divided into four categories that correspond to the four categories of
research disks (Military, Science and Industry, Empire and Expansion, and Economy and
Population). Each category has a number of ranks of increasing effect or power.
By sliding the apexes of each category you set the investment level in terms of Influence points.
Obviously, the total of Influence points spent in all categories cannot exceed your current stock of
Influence points.
As you unlock new research Eras, additional Empire Plan ranks become available, allowing you
to design more powerful plans (that are of course more expensive in Influence points). You can
choose to balance your investment between the four categories or raise a chosen category to the
maximum in order to drive your empire in one direction.
