Science Effects

Science Bonus = Race Mod * Personality Mod * Min(Science Multiplier * Skill points , Science Cap)

Race Mod: Undead = 0.85 to all science

Personality Mod: Sage = 1.25 to all science
Personality Mod: Heretic = 1.2 to Magic Science
Personality Mod: Heretic = 1.2 to Thievery Science
Personality Mod: Mystic = 1.75 to Magic Science
Personality Mod: Rogue = 1.5 to Thievery Science

Skill points = Number of Novices + 1.5 * Number of Graduates + 2 * Number of Professors

Tools	Building Effectiveness	0.33	20%	31
Housing	Population Limits	0.2	15%	38
Production	Food & Rune Production	2	120%	30

Channeling	Magic Effectiveness	2	125%	32

Scientist Spawn Rate

Each province starts with a set number of scientists assigned to the various science categories. Scientists start out as Recruits that provide no bonus; after 3 Utopian days (3 hours), a Recruit becomes a Novice and begins to provide a bonus to the assigned science category. The scientist then progresses from Novice to Graduate to Professor, providing incrementally greater benefits with each progression. 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 random scientist. Laboratories increase the rate of this progress.

Scientists Spawn Rate = Raw Spawn rate * Race Mod * Laboratories Effect * Revelation Mod

Raw Spawn rate = 1.5-2/day base
Race: Human = 1.25
Race: All non-humans = 1
Spell: Revelation = 1.3

Abduct Attacks

Through combat, you can abduct scientists from another province. Universities protect a province from abduction.

Scientist Networth

Networth Per scientist = Currently Unknown

-Current estimates put the Networth per scientist as 2.6 gc per in game day of experience with professors worth 462.8 Gc

NOTE: These formulas apply to the old books system of science. In Age 69, books were replaced by scientists.

-From Ages ?? to 68 Science formulas worked as follows

Science Effects

Books per Acre = Books / MAX(Acres,300)

Science Bonus = Race Mod * Personality Mod * Science Multiplier * SQRT( Books per Acre ) * Library Effect

Science Category	Multiplier
Alchemy	1.4
Tools	1
Housing	0.65
Food	8
Military	0.52
Thievery	6
Channeling	6

Science Costs

Science Cost = Raw Cost (Table Below) * Race Mod * Schools Effect
