'''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. 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]].

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, aimed to generate benefit later compared to equivalent non-teching strategies. A common use is to aim for a lot of mid to late-game efficiency when percentage-based bonuses have their greatest effects, e.g. +5 % platinum produced often peaks around conversion for a Converter, while -7.5 % platinum exploration cost amounts to a significant amount of extra platinum late in the round for explorers. For this reason, 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%.

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%.
  
−
=== Pros ===
+
== Formulas ==
−
* Great efficiency can be enjoyed late round
 
−
* Allows less experienced players to compete effectively late round
 
  
−
=== Cons ===
+
=== Tech Cost ===
−
* Slow; Techers make very little impact throughout the round, often coming up from below for Attacking or Converting strategies.
 
−
* Planning required; having a broad idea of how many / which techs you desire and when to stop building schools or destroy them is very helpful.
 
  
−
=== Recommendations ===
+
Tech cost for research points is a flat 10,000 research points per tech. Plus at least one of any prerequired techs.
−
* Great for Converters and slower styles.
 
−
* Inexperienced players

Players may also obtain research points by attacking. The formula for gaining research points through invasion is as follows:
  
−
In order to unlock a tech other than one of the three entry points, at least one of its connecting techs in the tree must already be acquired.
+
<code>[max(1100, daysInRound/0.027) + (Schools/Land * 100 * 26 * 150%)] * (1 - max(0, (recentlyInvadedCount - 2) * 0.2))</code>
  
−
The base cost of each advancement is 2.5x highest land achieved and increases by 100 after each unlock (min 3750).
+
This includes both a flat RP gain and a bonus equivalent to 150% of your hourly RP production. However, the bonus is reduced if you have been recently invaded.
  
−
=== Invasion RPs ===
+
For attacks under 75% there is no bonus based on production and the flat rate bonus is halved. Attacks under 60% receive no RP gain on successful invasions.
  
−
The number of research points (RP) gained during a successful invasion is based on the relative size of the target and any wonder or racial bonuses.
+
=== Pros ===
 +
* Great efficiency can be enjoyed late round
 +
* Allows less experienced players to compete effectively late round
