Here’s an idea for a new Wing in the Library!
Title: Education Ethos
TLDR; 8 books, it helps reduce the time required to research in the Library, University and Armoury- additionally it helps reduce cooldowns related to alliance speed ups on them. The Wing also provides small buffs to the Manufactory and Expeditions. The capstone providing more defensive options to otherwise neglected buildings.
1st Book - Allied Institutions
Lvl 1 - Reduces Alliance Speed Up cooldowns for the University by 2%
Lvl 2 - Reduces Alliance Speed Up cooldowns for the Library by 2%
Lvl 3 - Reduces Alliance Speed Up cooldowns for the University by 2%
Lvl 4 - Reduces Alliance Speed Up cooldowns for the Library by 2%
Lvl 5 - Reduces Alliance Speed Up cooldowns for the University & the Library by 4%
Book 2 - Innovative Learning
Lvl 1 - Reduces time to research at the University by 1%
Lvl 2 - Reduces time to upgrade at the Armoury by 1%
Lvl 3 - Reduces time to research at the Library by 1%
Lvl 4 - Reduces time to upgrade & research by 2%
Lvl 5 - Unlocks ‘Instant Free Finish’ for University research (similar to the Library)
Book 3 - Publication Standards
Lvl 1 - Reduces Library research cost by 5%
Lvl 2 - Reduces University research cost by 5%
Lvl 3 - Reduces Unit upgrade costs by 5%
Lvl 4 - Reduces Library Capstone research cost by 5%
Lvl 5 - University research cost is reduced by 2% per Library Capstone completed
Book 4 - Military Research
Lvl 1 - Reduces Barracks Unit upgrade cost by 5%
Lvl 2 - Reduces Factory Unit upgrade cost by 5%
Lvl 3 - Reduces Airstrip Unit upgrade cost by 5%
Lvl 4 - Reduces General upgrade cost by 5%
Lvl 5 - Reduces Nations Unique Unit upgrade cost & time by 10%
The first set of books are aimed at making things slightly cheaper and more slightly more time-efficient.
Book 5 - Scholarships
Lvl 1 - Reduces time to research at the University by 1%
Lvl 2 - Reduces time to upgrade at the University by 1%
Lvl 3 - Reduces time to research at the Library by 1%
Lvl 4 - Reduces time to research at the Library by 1%
Lvl 5 - Reduces time to research & upgrade all units by 1% per University ‘Character’ completed
Book 6 - Machine Learning
Lvl 1 - Reduces upgrade cost of the Manufactory by 10%
Lvl 2 - Reduces the time to produce materials in the Manufactory by 2% (call it Manufactory Efficiency)
Lvl 3 - Reduce upgrade cost for Units with Level 10 Equipment by 2%
Lvl 4 - Reduces building upgrade time & cost by 2%
Lvl 5 - Manufactory deploys Assault Vehicle when destroyed
Book 7 - Foreign Knowledge
Lvl 1 - Expeditions return 4% faster
Lvl 2 - Adds Wall Upgrade Manuals to the General bonus chest on Expeditions
Lvl 3 - Adds Small (upto 1h) research speedups to the General bonus chest on Expeditions
Lvl 4 - Adds Small (upto 1h) building speedups to the General bonus chest on Expeditions
Lvl 5 - Expedition Bonus Chests now drop another item
Book 8 - Subsidised Education
Lvl 1 - Using a Small speedup on research (NOT research speedups) grants you 100 of each Gold, Food & Oil
Lvl 2 - Using a Medium speedup (upto 12h) on research grants you 1000 of each Gold, Food & Oil
Lvl 3 - Using a Large speedup (above 12h) on research grants you 5000 of each Gold, Food & Oil
Lvl 4 - Archive generates a random small speedup every 24h
Lvl 5 - Research buildings placed around the Archive (2 range) research 5% faster
The last 4 books are designed to help build on a previous book in the Wing, buff the Manufactory, incentivise more Expeditions led by Generals, introduce a use for the Archive & encourage speedup usage.
Capstone - Protect the Books!
All research buildings HP are increased by 100%. If connected to a Road network, the Library, Archive and University will produce 2 National Unique Units when destroyed
Let me know what you guys think! This took about 40 minutes to conceptualise and type out on mobile, so sorry for any errors in presentation!
The numbers for the effects were based off current numbers present in-game, so nothing should be crazy unbalanced. But that’s just my opinion. Would love too hear your thoughts on this idea!
