Sciences

= Basics about Science =


 * The Sciences improve your effectiveness of nearly everything in your province - from your food production to your income and even your military gains.
 * The measure of impact that science will have on your province is determined by your Books Per Acre (BPA). Significant bonuses require a high BPA.
 * There are two ways to gain science: Research or Learn attacks
 * As a limitation of war your scholars won't research science faster than Active
 * Science researched but not allocated to categories is not included in "Total science" in the science formula below.
 * Networth for science is 1/50 nw per book.

= Research levels and costs =

= Category Multipliers =

= Science formula = The science formula introduced in the Age of Domination has changed science strategy. For the following age, the Age of Refinement the formula was slightly modified, giving all science a 40% boost. The formula is now as follows: (CategoryMultiplier*SQRT(categorypoints/acres)*SQRT(SQRT(categorypoints/totalscipoints))*1.4) This formula basically means that when you put science in another category, your bonus % in the all of the other researched categories will drop.

This requires you to think more actively about what you are planning to do with your province and thus change your science strategy accordingly.
