📖 Overview

The Research Center is where you unlock powerful technologies that enhance all aspects of your city. From construction speed to combat bonuses, research provides permanent buffs that compound over time. The Research Center level determines which technologies you can access and upgrade. It's unlocked at Furnace level 9 and maxes out at level 30.

  • Combat research should be upgraded before major battles or SvS events.
  • The Research Center is a prerequisite for Furnace level 10 - don't neglect it.
  • Research provides permanent bonuses - time invested here pays dividends forever.
  • Balance economic and military research based on your playstyle and needs.
