Following discussion in GC as to what to do on the research
tree and having searched the archives of the forums I couldn’t find a post
specifically about the research tree.
There are 8 different branches of the research tree: City | Diplomacy
| Quest |
Magic | Military
| Trade |
Crafting | Sovereignty Let’s start with City City |
Diplomacy | Quest
| Magic |
Military | Trade
| Crafting |
Sovereignty This is the section where the Resource buildings, crafting
buildings, and some other useful technologies are found. Timekeeping àCraftsmanship àAgriculture àBureaucracy These are the basics which
unlock the pathways for the buildings and technologies. Craftsmanship leads to the
crafting buildings (spears, armourers, bow, saddles & horses, wall and
seige blocks) and the resource buildings. Agriculture leads to the Food
resource building. Bureaucracy leads to vault, warehouse, bookbinder, Architect’s
Office, and the demolition, settler and exodus technologies. The Most important ones for early on in this section are the
ones that allow the resource buildings, and the path to exodus. So follow this path: Timekeeping àCraftsmanship àCarpentry àPottery àSmelting àStonemasonry àAgriculture àMilling àBureaucracy àPioneeringàInventory ManagementàExodus For this you need a level 7
of each resource plot and then warehouse level 20 for Exodus. City | Diplomacy |
Quest | Magic
| Military |
Trade | Crafting
| Sovereignty Negotiation allows a consulate, which you need. Early on in
the game level it up a few times so you can do build scouts and spies. Negotiation àEspionage àSpymaster àScouting àMaster Scouts Wait until later to research
all the other, unless you plan on being a military player City | Diplomacy
| Quest | Magic
| Military |
Trade | Crafting
| Sovereignty DO ALL OF THIS! City | Diplomacy
| Quest | Magic |
Military | Trade
| Crafting |
Sovereignty Don’t worry too much about this, again unless you are in a
highly competitive area and you need protection, in which case learn runes. City | Diplomacy
| Quest |
Magic | Military |
Trade | Crafting
| Sovereignty Research Militia and then build barracks up to level 7,
research everything available. This allows everything except cavalry, should
give you a good basis to start with. Spearmanship gives spearmen ConscriptionàInfantry gives
infantry Ranged Weapons gives archers Command and everything after
is for commanders. City | Diplomacy
| Quest |
Magic | Military
| Trade | Crafting
| Sovereignty Haggling unlocks the
marketplace. Level up to around level 12. Haggling àbarteringàTradingàetc increases the number of caravans and capacity àImproved loadingàetc increases the
capacity àChain Gangàetc increases the loading
speed. Cottersàetc research all of this, this allows to collect herbs
and minerals (basics) from squares. Guildsàetc unlocks all the World market things, and the
specialist herb/skins/minerals guilds. You do not need to worry about this
right now, build when you have levelled up a bit. Your alliance should provide
all the things you need. City | Diplomacy
| Quest |
Magic | Military
| Trade | Crafting | Sovereignty You do not need to worry
about these things until you are bigger, and by that time you will know what
they are for. This is all you need to know
about researching. The Main other thing is you need a library to be able to
research these things, as they require research points. the library is available at the start. You can also convert
books into research points. |

Very concise, entry level view of the nuts and bolts of research...

Who would you be if you stopped being all the things you are not?

By the time you have researched the entirety of the chain gang line harvesting resources is no longer relevant for that city. There is no reason to bother with those researches at all.

I am not amused.
