Teching is often used for [[Converting]] strategies although can also be utilized well by [[Explorers]], rarely by [[Attackers]], and is the hallmark of [[Land Drop Attacking]]. By building [[Schools]], your Dominion will produce [[Production#Research Points|Research Points]] which can be traded in for a new tech once you have enough points. Teching is a slow strategy that enables your Dominion to have increased efficiency later in the round. It is very difficult to keep up with the top players if you decide to tech but by the end of the round, you should be able to grow more effectively than other Dominions around you that have not teched. An important thing to note is that most techers will only research a handful of Techs and will then R/R their Schools to another building (often Diamond Mines or Homes). |

| − | Teching is a slow strategy | + | Teching is a very slow strategy. It almost always coincides with a Converting strategy as many of the Techs are geared towards attacking. Teching can be very useful for players who do not have much time to invest into the game early in the round, but wish to compete later on. New or inexperienced players may also benefit from teching. Also note that for multiple techs with the same bonus it is additive when it stacks i.e.: picking the tech Midas's Bargain gives you a +2.5% platinum production, whereas Midas's Fountain gives a bonus of +5% platinum production. Therefore when you unlock both of these then your total bonus is 2.5% + 5% = 7.5%. |
