| − | '''Teching''' is the term used for researching Technological Advancements in order to gain any number of bonuses that affect your Dominion. Teching is often used for [[Converting]] strategies although can it also be utilized well by [[Explorers]], and occasionally by [[Attackers]]. 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. | + | '''Teching''' is the term used for researching Technological Advancements in order to gain any number of bonuses that affect your Dominion.

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). |
| − | + | Currently, every Dominion receives 750 Research Points daily, provided that they always take a daily platinum bonus. As such, they will receive a 'free' tech on days 13, 26, and 39 even if no Schools are built and no attacking is done. | |

| + | If the target is less than 60% the size of the attacker, no research points are gained. | ||

| + | If the target is 60% or greater, first the base RP gain is calculated as | ||
| + | |||
| + | BaseRP = Max (1000, DayOfRound / 0.03) | ||

| + | |||
| + | When the target is greater than or equal to 60% and less than 75%, the base RP gain is halved. | ||

| + | where SchoolPercentage is the attacker's percentage and SchoolPercentageCap is 20%. | ||
| + | |||
| + | SchoolModifier = 1 – Min (0.75, Max (0, NumberOfRecentInvasions – 2) * 0.15) | ||
