Science Formulas

Mastering the Arts & Sciences makes your people stronger, smarter, and more efficient. You can grow in strength without growing in size.

Details on the benefits of different sciences can be found below.

Science Formula

Science Bonus = ( # of Books in Type )^(1/2.125) * Science Multiplier * Race Mod * Personality Mod * Amnesia Effect * Learn Effect * Scientific Insights Mod

Scientists and Books

• Each province starts with a set number of scientists assigned to the three science Categories (Economy, Military, 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.
• Scientists produce a set number of books each tick in the Category they are allocated (Economy, Military, 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.
• Inactive provinces do not produce books.
  
• Science over 5000 BPA will slowly decay outside War.

Scientists Spawn Rate = 1.25 * Race Mod * Laboratories Effect * Revelation Mod

Rank	Experience	Book Production
Recruit	0-2399	100
Novice	2400-8159	120
Graduate	8160-18239	140
Professor	18240+	160

Re-assigning Scientists

Re-assigning scientists drops them back to a recruit. Refer to this forum post for a discussion on this topic: http://forums.utopia-game.com/showthread.php?639982-A-Question-About-Ticks-amp-Buildings
