'''Research''' allows you to unlock new buildings, [[transports]], [[vehicles]], [[edicts]], [[recipes]] and [[ship]] upgrades. After selecting a research technology in the research screen, you can also queue up other technologies, which will be researched afterwards. The number of technologies in the queue is represented by the "+X" number next to the current research in the research bar. It is possible to remove items from the research queue by selecting them, and clicking remove from queue, however it seems that you need to remove the last added research from the queue first, before you can remove any other research from it. You can also cancel the whole research queue by cancelling the current research, which will also clear the whole queue.
You may add more than one research to the research queue and they will be researched in the order you have added them. The number of technologies in your current research queue are represented by the "+X" number that is located next to the current research in the research bar. You can remove items from the research queue by selecting them, and clicking on the "Remove From Queue" button.  However, you must remove the items from the queue in the order they were added as well.  If you wish to cancel the entire research queue, simply cancel the current research and it will also clear the current queue.

Each [[Research Lab]] produces a certain amount of research points every month. Each technology has a "difficulty rating", which defines how many research points you need to research in order to unlock the technology. The difficulty rating can be seen next to the technology name in the research screen, e.g. "Construction III[9]". The difficulty rating is not directly linked to the amount of research points needed to research a technology, as in for a technology with a difficulty rating of 10, you need exactly 100 research points. However, you can assume that each difficulty rating increases the research points needed by 27. Meaning that if you want to research Construction III technology, which has difficulty rating of 9, you will need to generate approximately 9*27 = 243 research points to unlock it. Although, the actual amount of research points needed for difficulty rating of 9 is 234. This means that to unlock the Construction III, using a single Research Lab II, which generates 4 research points per month, you will need to wait approximately 243 / 4 = 60 months, and use up 243 [[Lab Equipment]].
Each [[Research Lab]] produces a different amount of research points each cycle.

How to calculate the amount of research points necessary from difficulty rating:
 
Formula: difficulty * 10 + (difficulty - 2) * 18
 
Difficulty 1 and Difficulty 2 are 10 and 20 points respectively. Each difficulty thereafter represents a 28 point increase in research points necessary to research the technology.  For example: Difficulty 25 requires 664 research points. (25 * 10 + (25- 2) * 18)
 
The amount of research points needed also correlates to the amount of [[Lab Equipment]] necessary for the research in its totality. This would mean that in the above example, you would need 664 lab equipment to research a difficulty 25 technology.

Research allows you to unlock new buildings, transports, vehicles, edicts, recipes and ship upgrades.

You may add more than one research to the research queue and they will be researched in the order you have added them. The number of technologies in your current research queue are represented by the "+X" number that is located next to the current research in the research bar. You can remove items from the research queue by selecting them, and clicking on the "Remove From Queue" button. However, you must remove the items from the queue in the order they were added as well. If you wish to cancel the entire research queue, simply cancel the current research and it will also clear the current queue.

Research Points

Each Research Lab produces a different amount of research points each cycle.

Each technology has a "difficulty rating", which defines how many research points you need to research in order to unlock the technology. The difficulty rating can be seen next to the technology name in the research screen, e.g. "Construction III[9]".

How to calculate the amount of research points necessary from difficulty rating:

Formula: difficulty * 10 + (difficulty - 2) * 18

Difficulty 1 and Difficulty 2 are 10 and 20 points respectively. Each difficulty thereafter represents a 28 point increase in research points necessary to research the technology. For example: Difficulty 25 requires 664 research points. (25 * 10 + (25- 2) * 18)

The amount of research points needed also correlates to the amount of Lab Equipment necessary for the research in its totality. This would mean that in the above example, you would need 664 lab equipment to research a difficulty 25 technology.
