Research is a fundamental part of the '''Stronghold Kingdoms™''' experience: all skills, buildings, features and everything that a player can accomplish in Stronghold is tied in some way to research. Players obtain research points to spend on researching new branches of the ''research tree''. These open up new buildings, troop types, food types, features etc. Research takes a certain length of time - increasing with each completed research. Certain researches require a player to be of a minimum rank before they can be started, and certain branches of research open up new branches to the player once completed. A player may carry out one level of research at a time; however, ''premium tokens'' allow up to five (5) levels of research to be queued, although only one will be researched at a time. There are two (2) views in the research screen; ''branch'' and ''tree'' view. ''Branch'' view shows all currently-available research, as well as any buildings or branches these may unlock, while ''tree'' view shows the entire research tree, including still-locked research. '''TIP:''' Hovering the mouse over queued researches will show you the name of the research and how long it will take for that research item is completed. ==Obtaining Research Points== When the player first begins the game, they are given eight (8) research points to spend. Once these are depleted, there are various ways to obtain research points. The most common method is by receiving three (3) points with each rank (including sub-ranks). Points may also be purchased for gold from the player’s treasury; however, the price of gold increases each time a point is bought. Players may also receive free research points from ''Strategy Cards''. '''TIP:''' It is a good idea to avoid buying research points with gold until later in the game, unless your Research queue is empty. There is no reason to not keep that timer ticking. Gold cost to purchase a research point follows the formula <big><math display="inline">G=8 x^2+10x</math></big> where x is how many research points you have purchased already plus 1. This does not include any discount due to Philosophy research. The base cost for the very first research point purchased is 18 gold. {| class="wikitable" !Research Points !Gold Cost |- |1 |18 |- |2 |52 |- |3 |102 |- |4 |168 |- |5 |250 |- |6 |348 |- |7 |462 |- |8 |592 |- |9 |738 |- |10 |900 |- |11 |1078 |- | colspan="2" |... |} Important to note that while maxing Philosophy will allow you to purchase significantly more Research Points for cheaper the research time taken will also increase. This method is best used by players intentionally delaying or slowing honor gains as they will be unlocking fewer research points from rank ups. ==Research Trees== {| style="width:500px;" align="center" | align="center" width="100px" |[[file:Industry.png|link=]] | align="center" width="100px" |[[file:Military.png|link=]] | align="center" width="100px" |[[file:Farming.png|link=]] | align="center" width="100px" | [[file:Education.png|link=]] |- | align="center" |[[Research:Industry|Industry]] | align="center" |[[Research:Military|Military]] | align="center" |[[Research:Farming|Farming]] | align="center" |[[Research:Education|Education]] |} ==Research Time== The base time taken to complete a research is approximately <math>T = 0.8 n^2 + 29n + 30</math> where <math>T</math> is the research duration in seconds and <math>n</math> is the number of researches ''already completed''. Researching [[Research:Education|Mathematics]] will reduce the time for all future researches. '''TIP:''' Check your progress on the Learned Scholar [[Achievements|achievement]] to see how many researches you have already completed. {| class="wikitable" |+Approximate Research Times ! rowspan="2" |Completed Researches ! rowspan="2" |Next Research (D:HH:MM:SS) ! colspan="10" |Mathematics Level |- !Level 1 !Level 2 !Level 3 !Level 4 !Level 5 !Level 6 !Level 7 !Level 8 !Level 9 !Level 10 |- |0 |00:00:30 | | | | | | | | | | |- |1 |00:00:59 |00:00:56 | | | | | | | | | |- |2 |00:01:31 |00:01:26 |00:01:22 | | | | | | | | |- |3 |00:02:04 |00:01:58 |00:01:52 |00:01:45 | | | | | | | |- |4 |00:02:39 |00:02:30 |00:02:22 |00:02:14 |00:02:06 | | | | | | |- |5 |00:03:15 |00:03:05 |00:02:56 |00:02:46 |00:02:36 |00:02:26 | | | | | |- |6 |00:03:52 |00:03:40 |00:03:29 |00:03:17 |00:03:06 |00:02:54 |00:02:42 | | | | |- |7 |00:04:32 |00:04:18 |00:04:05 |00:03:51 |00:03:38 |00:03:24 |00:03:10 |00:02:57 | | | |- |8 |00:05:13 |00:04:57 |00:04:42 |00:04:26 |00:04:10 |00:03:55 |00:03:39 |00:03:23 |00:03:08 | | |- |9 |00:05:55 |00:05:37 |00:05:20 |00:05:02 |00:04:44 |00:04:26 |00:04:09 |00:03:51 |00:03:33 |00:03:15 | |- |10 |00:06:40 |00:06:20 |00:06:00 |00:05:40 |00:05:20 |00:05:00 |00:04:40 |00:04:20 |00:04:00 |00:03:40 |00:03:20 |- |20 |00:15:30 |00:14:43 |00:13:57 |00:13:10 |00:12:24 |00:11:37 |00:10:51 |00:10:04 |00:09:18 |00:08:32 |00:07:45 |- |40 |00:41:10 |00:39:07 |00:37:03 |00:35:00 |00:32:56 |00:30:52 |00:28:49 |00:26:46 |00:24:42 |00:22:39 |00:20:35 |- |60 |01:17:30 |01:13:37 |01:09:45 |01:05:53 |01:02:00 |00:58:08 |00:54:15 |00:50:22 |00:46:30 |00:42:38 |00:38:45 |- |80 |02:04:30 |01:58:16 |01:52:03 |01:45:49 |01:39:36 |01:33:22 |01:27:09 |01:20:56 |01:14:42 |01:08:29 |01:02:15 |- |100 |03:02:10 |02:53:03 |02:43:57 |02:34:50 |02:25:44 |02:16:38 |02:07:31 |01:58:25 |01:49:18 |01:40:12 |01:31:05 |- |200 |10:30:30 |09:58:58 |09:27:27 |08:55:56 |08:24:24 |07:52:52 |07:21:21 |06:49:50 |06:18:18 |05:46:47 |05:15:15 |- |300 |22:25:30 |21:18:13 |20:10:57 |19:03:40 |17:56:24 |16:49:07 |15:41:51 |14:34:34 |13:27:18 |12:20:02 |11:12:45 |- |400 |1:14:47:10 |1:12:50:48 |1:10:54:27 |1:08:58:06 |1:07:01:44 |1:05:05:23 |1:03:09:01 |1:01:12:40 |23:16:18 |21:19:57 |19:23:35 |- |500 |2:11:35:30 |2:08:36:43 |2:05:37:57 |2:02:39:10 |1:23:40:24 |1:20:41:37 |1:17:42:51 |1:14:44:05 |1:11:45:18 |1:08:46:32 |1:05:47:45 |} [[Category:Gameplay-Misc]] [[Category:Research]]
