The Research Tower
The research tower allows you to unlock and research new technologies, blueprints and crafting manuals to help improve the efficiency, strength and productivity of your empire.
There are multiple research categories that can be unlocked by upgrading your research tower, with each category’s research tree containing either technologies, blueprints or crafting manuals
Technologies provide effects and bonuses that improve the overall productivity of your military economy and resource production.
Blueprints enable you craft new or improve build items that can be used to increase the efficiency of your castle’s buildings.
Crafting manuals are integral to the advanced tool crafting process which will ultimately help strengthen your military’s might.
Almost every technology, blueprint and manual has multiple levels that you can research to increase the overall effect. New research opportunities are unlocked once certain other projects have been researched.
Committing to a research project takes time and requires resources. It is possible to reduce and even completely skip research times with time skip consumables or rubies, though keep in mind that you can only commit to one research project at a time.
Although the research tower can only be built in your main castle, the bonuses and effects provided by researched technologies apply to every castle in your empire! The resources required for your research projects are taken from the storehouse of your main castle
The Hall of Legends
The Hall of Legends provides access to new forms of power: the sovereign system. By collecting sceats from various events you can unlock powerful buildings and units. Those upgrades are not connected to your Hall of Legends level, but directly to your legendary experience level and can be used against any type of enemy.
You must progress through all the tier levels of an upgrade to unlock the following one. You also have to upgrade the keep in your main castle of the Great Empire to unlock additional tiers. Upgrading keeps in outposts or other castles does NOT unlock sovereign skill tiers. Some skills also have additional requirements, such having certain buildings on a defined level in your main castle. All conditions for unlocking a skill have to be met in the main castle, NOT in outposts or castles in other kingdoms!
