Research and technology play crucial roles in shaping your civilization's progress and ensuring its survival. Understanding the two primary structures related to research and technology, the Academy and the Enhancement Forge, is essential for mastering the game.
Academy: The Academy is where you train Settlers, Scouts, and Caravans, each serving unique functions in your civilization's advancement.
Settlers: These units are invaluable for expanding your territory by taking over enemy villages. However, they can only succeed if the target village is cleared of enemy troops. Settlers are accompanied by attacking units and require careful planning due to their high cost and training time of up to 24 hours. For unit statistics, please visit your tribe's page.
Scouts: Utilized for gathering intelligence on other players, Scouts provide valuable information such as army sizes, compositions, structure levels, and wall defenses in scouted villages. Investing in Scouts is essential for strategic warfare but comes at a significant cost. As with Settlers, please visit your tribe's page for unit statistics.
Caravans: This feature is forthcoming.
Enhancement Forge: The Enhancement Forge is where you upgrade your armies' equipment and fortify your village's defenses, primarily through enhancing material and wall structures.
Unit Upgrades: While currently an upcoming feature, the Enhancement Forge will soon enable players to enhance their armies' weapons and armor, enhancing their combat effectiveness.
Village Wall Upgrades: Enhancing your village's wall provides additional protection against attackers and incoming scouts. The cost and statistics for wall upgrades vary with each level, offering incremental improvements in defense and scout interception rates. For a comprehensive breakdown, refer below, where the initial percentage indicates a general defense boost, while the latter percentage denotes the chance of catching enemy Scouts.
