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

Science Category	Effect	Multiplier	Cap	Scientist Cap
Alchemy	Income	0.5	30%	30
Tools	Building Effectiveness	0.33	20%	31
Housing	Population Limits	0.2	15%	38
Production	Food & Rune Production	2	120%	30
Military	Military Efficiency	0.2	15%	38
Crime	Thievery Effectiveness	1.65	100%	31
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, then as they progress ther provide incrementally greater benefits with each progression.

• Recruit -> Novice = 3 Utopian days (3 hours)
• Novice -> Graduate = 72 Utopian days (3 days)
• Graduate -> Professor = 96 Utopian days (4 days)

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 = ~44gc * tick of experience

Networth Per Recruit = ~44gc
Networth Per Novice = ~132gc
Networth Per Graduate = ~3,300gc
Networth Per Professor = ~7,392gc

Out Dated science formulas Saved for reference only

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
