Scientists and Books

• Each province starts with a set number of scientists assigned to the three science Categories (Economy, Warfare, Arcane Arts).
  
• Scientists start out as Recruits, then as they progress they provide incrementally greater benefits with each progression.
  
• Scientist experience is based on how many books they have produced in that category.
  
• Scientists have no networth value.
• Scientists can be re-assigned at any time, but revert to Recruit level when doing so.
  
• Every tick each province builds progress towards a new scientist. Laboratories increase the rate of this progress.

Recruit -> Novice = X Books produced (X hours)
Novice -> Graduate = X Books produced (X hours)
Graduate -> Professor = X Books produced (X hours)

Scientists Spawn Rate = X * Race Mod * Laboratories Effect * Revelation Mod

• Scientists produce a set number of books each tick in the Category they are allocated (Economy, Warfare, Arcane Arts), based on their rank. Schools increase this effect, but only in a single Category selected with a drop-down menu.
  
• Books can be allocated to any science Type within the Category they have been produced.
  
• Allocated books go into effect instantly.
  

Rank	Books
Recruit	100
Novice	125
Graduate	150
Professor	200
