The cost for each technology is fixed and depends on the number of its 'parent techs'. Research progress is measured in research points (bulbs), which can be generatedīoth through trade and by scientists. From there you each direct your research toward one advance at a time, deciding which technology you need most quickly and which you can afford to attain later.
But otherwise advances must be discovered through the efforts of your own people.īy default, each player starts without any technology at all (this can be changed with a server option). There are a few ways to gain advances from other civilizations: you will sometimes discover enemy technology when you capture a city you can steal advances with Diplomats and Spies the Great Library wonder, while it lasts, gives its owner every advance that two other civilizations have reached and another player might grant technology in the terms of a pact. Worse yet, your wonders can be obsoleted by an advance made by another player! While obsolete units merely become impossible to make - leaving the ones you have already made intact - obsolete buildings are immediately sold, and Beware that some advances also make things obsolete. A few advances provide immediate benefits, such as making new actions available to your units many introduce new units or buildings you can construct and most are also gateways to further technology. Throughout the game you and your opponents will race to discover ever more powerful technologies, which enhance your own civilizations while menacing those of each other.
