==Advances==
== Advances ==
'''Advances''' represent the general level of knowledge and technology that the country has reached. They provide a baseline level of modifiers from increased technology and each advance unlocks 3 inventions to be added to the pool (occasionally more if the country has access to culture or government-specific technologies). There is no cap in the maximum level of advances that can be achieved, though after level 20 advances will stop unlocking new inventions and will only provide their base modifiers. Advances are slowly researched over time based on the amount of {{icon|research points}} research points that a country produces in proportion to its {{icon|integrated culture}} integrated culture population, subject to many different modifiers that can further increase or decrease the speed at which research progress is accumulated.

'''Advances''' represent the general level of knowledge and technology that the country has reached. They provide a baseline level of modifiers from increased technology and each advance grants {{icon|innovation}} 1 innovation that can be used to unlock an [[inventions|invention]]. There is no cap in the maximum level of advances that can be achieved, though ahead-of-time penalties will effectively give a soft cap to the level of advances that is realistically possible to achieve. Advances are slowly researched over time based on the amount of {{icon|research points}} research points that a country produces in proportion to its {{icon|integrated culture}} integrated culture population, subject to many different modifiers that can further increase or decrease the speed at which research progress is accumulated.
===Research Points===
{{icon|research points}} '''Research points''' represent the contribution of pops towards the technological and intellectual advancement of the country, and are summed up over every pop in every owned territory every month to get the total research points for the state. Research points are generated exclusively by {{icon|nobles}} nobles and {{icon|citizens}} citizens, who produce a base output of '''0.5''' and '''0.2''' research points, respectively, each month at {{icon|happiness}} 100% happiness. Therefore, research point production is affected by {{icon|noble output}} noble output and {{icon|citizen output}} citizen output as well as {{icon|research points}} research point modifiers, and is also heavily dependent on the {{icon|noble ratio}} {{icon|citizen ratio}} proportion and {{icon|noble happiness}} {{icon|citizen happiness}} happiness of {{icon|nobles}} nobles and {{icon|citizens}} citizens in the country. This means that increasing {{icon|noble ratio}} noble ratio and {{icon|citizen ratio}} citizen ratio directly through laws and {{icon|library}} libraries and {{icon|court of law}} courts of law or indirectly by building more and larger {{icon|city}} [[cities]] (as nobles and citizens do not exist in appreciable numbers in settlements) are also an effective longer-term solution towards increasing research point production. Large cities and [[metropolis]]es are usually the largest source of research points in the middle to late game, as the stacking effects of {{icon|library}} libraries, {{icon|court of law}} courts of law, and {{icon|academy}} academies means that they usually have both the highest proportion of nobles and citizens and the highest research point production per noble/citizen, though population capacity means that larger empires will still need a significant number of cities to produce enough research.
 
每个100%幸福度的贵族提供0.5基础研究点，公民0.2个。
 
===Research Efficiency===
'''Research efficiency''' is the ratio of research points produced per year to {{icon|integrated culture}} integrated culture population and the main component of the actual research progress each month, meaning that larger countries generally need higher research point generation in order to keep up with research. It is calculated according to the following formula:研究效率遵循下列公式（12倍的研究点数量/已接受的人口数）*100%
: <math>\text{Research efficiency}=\frac{\text{Research Points}\cdot 12}{\text{Integrated Culture Population}}\cdot 100%</math>
Generally, it is desirable to keep research efficiency at at least 80% in order to research advances at a reasonable pace. Research efficiency cannot go higher than '''300%''', though it can still be useful to try to push the research points to population ratio higher in order to provide a buffer when enslaving pops or conquering new territory. Small, highly urbanized city-states will generally have a much higher research efficiency than sprawling empires with many rural pops, though it is possible to have a high research efficiency even with the largest empires so long as the major cities are sufficiently large and research-focused, of which growth through [[enslavement]], [[migration]], and continued {{icon|city}} urbanization will typically be needed to keep up.
 
As the denominator of research efficiency is based on the {{icon|integrated culture}} integrated culture population, not the total population, it is also possible to get high research efficiency by keeping a relatively small core of integrated culture pops compared to the empire's total output - especially useful is conquering foreign areas with significant numbers of {{icon|nobles}} nobles and {{icon|citizens}} citizens, as they will produce {{icon|research points}} research points but not count against the denominator for research efficiency. However, the lower happiness of unintegrated culture pops, and particularly those of the higher classes that produce research, generally means that more care has to be taken to ensure their happiness and keep {{icon|unrest}} unrest under control compared to integrating them.
 
===Monthly Research===
'''Monthly research''' is the base value of research progress for all four fields and is obtained by dividing research efficiency by 240, corresponding to a base time of 240 months (20 years) for each advance. The research efficiency cap at 300% means that the highest possible base monthly research is '''1.25%'''.
 
月度研究是四个领域研究进展的基础值，通过将研究效率除以240得出，也就是说研究效率是每240个月（20年）完成科技数量。300%的研究效率上限意味着最高可能的每月基础研究是1.25%。
 
===Research Progress===
'''Research progress''' is the actual monthly progress in each field of advances. The base value is the monthly research, which is then modified by the field-specific '''research speed''' modifier. The {{icon|technology speed}} '''technology speed''' modifier affects the research speed in all fields, while the field-specific technology modifiers ({{icon|military tech investment}} '''military tech investment''', {{icon|civic tech investment}} '''civic tech investment''', {{icon|oratory tech investment}} '''oratory tech investment''', and {{icon|religious tech investment}} '''religious tech investment''') are applied only to the research speed of one specific field. Modifiers to research speed can come from various [[Pantheon|deity]] bonuses and omens, country [[heritages]], [[trade goods]], and event/mission modifiers, but the main component of research speed for each field will typically be the attribute of the field's researcher corresponding to the field. The behind/ahead of time modifier is applied multiplicatively after all the other modifiers, and gives a {{red|-0.50%}} malus for each year ahead and {{green|+0.50%}} bonus for each year behind the country is compared to the benchmark of 1 advance every 20 years after the start of the game.
 
An advance will be researched once the total research progress for that field reaches '''100%''', with any overflow carried over for the next advance. The progress and effects (including unlocked inventions) of the next advance in each field can be viewed in the tooltip of the corresponding progress bar.
 
=== Researchers ===
Each technology field can have one '''researcher''' assigned to it, who leads the research efforts in that field and has a significant influence on how quickly advances in that field progress, giving a {{green|+10%}} research speed boost for each attribute point corresponding to the field ({{icon|mil}} martial for military advances, {{icon|civ}} finesse for civic advances, {{icon|ora}} charisma for oratory advances, and {{icon|rel}} zeal for religious advances). Like all other jobs and offices, holding the researcher position counts towards {{icon|prominence}} prominence, {{icon|prestige}} family prestige, {{icon|power base}} power base, and the {{icon|position}} number of positions that a major family expects to hold.
 
=== Fields ===
The modifiers for a single level of advances in each field are listed below. Each level provides an additional modifier on top of the previous ones already accumulated.

==Inventions==
== Research ==
{{SVersion|1.5}}
=== Research points ===
{{icon|invention}} '''Inventions''' represent specific technologies or practices that can be adopted by the state in order to get a specific bonus. Every invention is associated with a specific level and field of advances that needs to be reached before the invention is unlocked, typically with every advance unlocking 3 inventions (occasionally more when culture-specific inventions are unlocked). There are a total of 279 inventions spread across the four fields (251 available to all countries, 2 available depending on country rank, 3 government type-specific, and 11 country/culture-specific), with the last inventions being unlocked after reaching level 20 of each advance; higher levels of technology after that do not unlock any further inventions.
{{icon|research points}} '''Research points''' represent the contribution of pops towards the technological and intellectual advancement of the country, and are summed up over every pop in every owned territory every month to get the total research points for the state. Research points are generated exclusively by {{icon|nobles}} nobles and {{icon|citizens}} citizens, who produce a base output of '''0.5''' and '''0.2''' research points, respectively, each month at {{icon|happiness}} 100% happiness. Therefore, research point production is also affected by {{icon|noble output}} noble output and {{icon|citizen output}} citizen output as well as {{icon|research points}} research point modifiers, and is also heavily dependent on the {{icon|noble ratio}} {{icon|citizen ratio}} proportion and {{icon|noble happiness}} {{icon|citizen happiness}} happiness of nobles and citizens in the country. This means that in addition to directly maximizing research point production (such as by building {{icon|library}} libraries and increasing overall {{icon|pop output}} population output with {{icon|foundry}} foundries and raising {{icon|civilization}} civilization level), increasing {{icon|noble ratio}} noble ratio and {{icon|citizen ratio}} citizen ratio directly through laws and {{icon|academy}} academies and {{icon|court of law}} courts of law or indirectly by building more and larger {{icon|city}} [[cities]] (as nobles and citizens do not exist in appreciable numbers in settlements) are also an effective longer-term solution towards increasing research point production. Large cities and [[metropolis]]es are usually the largest source of research points in the middle to late game, as the stacking effects of {{icon|academy}} academies and {{icon|court of law}} courts of law as well as general {{icon|civilization}} civilization level increases from buildings means that they usually have both the highest proportion of nobles and citizens and the highest happiness and research point production per noble/citizen, though population capacity means that larger empires will still need a significant number of cities to produce enough research.


Each field has a pool of up to 3 inventions that can be adopted at any given time, with the most recently unlocked inventions always chosen first. Inventions can be adopted at a base cost of {{icon|cost}} {{red|0.15}} gold per {{icon|population}} pop in each of the country's owned territories, which means that larger empires need to pay significantly more to adopt an invention. This cost can be adjusted by the [[File:Buy_invention_cost_modifier.png|28px]] '''Invention Cost''' modifier, currently possible only from a special event modifier. Not adopting inventions has no penalty other than not having access to the bonus and does not prevent further advances from being researched or new inventions from being unlocked and added to the pool, but as the newest inventions are always chosen first from the pool it will require purchasing a significant number of more recently unlocked inventions in order to be able to adopt older ones that were missed. All previously adopted inventions and their effects can be viewed in the [[File:Ledger.png|28px]] ledger.
=== Monthly research ===
'''Monthly research''' is the base value of research progress for all four fields and is obtained by dividing research efficiency by '''192''', corresponding to a base time of 192 months (16 years) for each advance. The baseline research efficiency cap of 125% initially caps monthly research at '''0.65%''', with the maximum possible research efficiency of 250% giving a highest possible base monthly research of '''1.30%'''.


Unlike advances, no country has any inventions adopted at the start, not even those that otherwise begin with a higher level of technology.
=== Research progress ===
'''Research progress''' is the actual monthly progress in each field of advances. The base value is the monthly research, which is then modified by the field-specific '''research speed''' modifier. The {{icon|technology speed}} '''technology speed''' modifier affects the research speed in all fields, while the field-specific technology modifiers ({{icon|military tech investment}} '''military tech investment''', {{icon|civic tech investment}} '''civic tech investment''', {{icon|oratory tech investment}} '''oratory tech investment''', and {{icon|religious tech investment}} '''religious tech investment''') are applied only to the research speed of one specific field. Modifiers to research speed can come from various [[Pantheon|deity]] bonuses and omens, country [[heritages]], [[trade goods]], and event/mission modifiers, but the main component of research speed for each field will typically be the attribute of the field's researcher corresponding to the field. The behind/ahead of time modifier is applied multiplicatively after all the other modifiers, and gives a {{red|-0.75%}} malus for each year ahead and {{green|+0.75%}} bonus for each year behind the country is compared to the benchmark of 1 advance every '''16''' years after the start of the game. Certain events can also directly increase the amount of research progress accumulated in a particular field.

'''Research efficiency''' is the ratio of research points produced per year to {{icon|integrated culture}} integrated culture population and the main component of the actual research progress each month, meaning that larger countries generally need higher research point generation in order to keep up with research. It is calculated according to the following formula:

Generally, it is desirable to keep research efficiency at at least 80% in order to research advances at a reasonable pace. Research efficiency has a baseline cap of '''125%''', modified by the {{icon|research points}} '''maximum research efficiency''' modifier.

<h3>{{icon|civ}} Civic Inventions</h3>
Even though research efficiency is capped, it can still be useful to try to push the research points to population ratio higher in order to provide a buffer when assimilating pops or integrating new territory. Small, highly urbanized city-states will generally have a much higher research efficiency than sprawling empires with many rural pops, though it is possible to have a high research efficiency even with the largest empires so long as the major cities are sufficiently large and research-focused, of which growth through [[enslavement]], [[migration]], and continued {{icon|city}} urbanization will typically be needed to keep up.
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
 
|-
As the denominator of research efficiency is based on the {{icon|integrated culture}} integrated culture population, not the total population, it is also possible to get high research efficiency by keeping a relatively small core of integrated culture pops compared to the empire's total output - especially useful is conquering foreign areas with significant numbers of {{icon|nobles}} nobles and {{icon|citizens}} citizens, as they will produce {{icon|research points}} research points but not count against the denominator for research efficiency. However, the lower happiness of unintegrated culture pops, and particularly those of the higher classes that produce research, generally means that more care has to be taken to ensure their {{icon|happiness}} happiness and keep {{icon|unrest}} unrest under control compared to integrating them.

The main technology interface

Menu technology.png Technology represents the discovery, improvement, and implementation of new tools, techniques, and customs that give a wide variety of powerful bonuses across every field. Technologically advanced nations will field a more effective military, make more efficient use of their pops and resources, and be able to create a more stable and loyal realm, while those that fall behind will find it increasingly difficult to keep up with their peers. All technologies fall into one of four fields - Military power.png martial, Civic power.png civic, Oratory power.png oratory and Religious power.png religious - and can be divided between generic advances that gain progress from generation of Research points.png research points by Pop noble.png nobles and Pop citizen.png citizens, and the more specific Invention.png inventions that can be adopted by spending the Invention.png innovations that advances grant. The main technology interface can be accessed though the Menu technology.png technology tab in the side menu bar.

Advances

Advances represent the general level of knowledge and technology that the country has reached. They provide a baseline level of modifiers from increased technology and each advance grants Invention.png 1 innovation that can be used to unlock an invention. There is no cap in the maximum level of advances that can be achieved, though ahead-of-time penalties will effectively give a soft cap to the level of advances that is realistically possible to achieve. Advances are slowly researched over time based on the amount of Research points.png research points that a country produces in proportion to its Integrated.png integrated culture population, subject to many different modifiers that can further increase or decrease the speed at which research progress is accumulated.

Starting advances level

Each country starts with a predetermined level of technological advances, usually determined by their culture and civilization level, along with a number of unused Invention.png innovations corresponding to its starting advances level (if applicable).

The following countries/cultures start with all advances at level 2 (with Invention.png 8 starting innovations):

  • Italic culture group (except Ligurian, Venetic, and Rhaetian)
  • Hellenistic culture group (except 卡帕多基亚的国旗 卡帕多基亚 and 帕提亚的国旗 帕提亚)
  • Lycian culture
  • Bithynian culture
  • Punic and Phoenician culture
  • Assyrian and Babylonian culture
  • Median culture
  • Tamil culture (if coastal)
  • Magadhi, Shauraseni, Gandhari, Avanti, and Lankan culture
  • 阿普利亚的国旗 阿普利亚

The following countries/cultures start with all advances at level 1 (with Invention.png 4 starting innovations):

All other countries start with no advances (level 0) or innovations.

Research

Research points

Research points.png Research points represent the contribution of pops towards the technological and intellectual advancement of the country, and are summed up over every pop in every owned territory every month to get the total research points for the state. Research points are generated exclusively by Pop noble.png nobles and Pop citizen.png citizens, who produce a base output of 0.5 and 0.2 research points, respectively, each month at Happiness.png 100% happiness. Therefore, research point production is also affected by Noble output noble output and Pop citizen output.png citizen output as well as Research points.png research point modifiers, and is also heavily dependent on the Noble ratio Pop citizen ratio.png proportion and Noble happiness Pop citizen happiness.png happiness of nobles and citizens in the country. This means that in addition to directly maximizing research point production (such as by building Library libraries and increasing overall Population output population output with Foundry foundries and raising Civilization.png civilization level), increasing Noble ratio noble ratio and Pop citizen ratio.png citizen ratio directly through laws and Academy academies and Court of Law courts of law or indirectly by building more and larger Territory city.png cities (as nobles and citizens do not exist in appreciable numbers in settlements) are also an effective longer-term solution towards increasing research point production. Large cities and metropolises are usually the largest source of research points in the middle to late game, as the stacking effects of Academy academies and Court of Law courts of law as well as general Civilization.png civilization level increases from buildings means that they usually have both the highest proportion of nobles and citizens and the highest happiness and research point production per noble/citizen, though population capacity means that larger empires will still need a significant number of cities to produce enough research.

Monthly research

Monthly research is the base value of research progress for all four fields and is obtained by dividing research efficiency by 192, corresponding to a base time of 192 months (16 years) for each advance. The baseline research efficiency cap of 125% initially caps monthly research at 0.65%, with the maximum possible research efficiency of 250% giving a highest possible base monthly research of 1.30%.

Research progress

Research progress is the actual monthly progress in each field of advances. The base value is the monthly research, which is then modified by the field-specific research speed modifier. The Technology speed technology speed modifier affects the research speed in all fields, while the field-specific technology modifiers (Military tech investment.png military tech investment, Civic tech investment.png civic tech investment, Oratory tech investment.png oratory tech investment, and Religious tech investment.png religious tech investment) are applied only to the research speed of one specific field. Modifiers to research speed can come from various deity bonuses and omens, country heritages, trade goods, and event/mission modifiers, but the main component of research speed for each field will typically be the attribute of the field's researcher corresponding to the field. The behind/ahead of time modifier is applied multiplicatively after all the other modifiers, and gives a -0.75% malus for each year ahead and +0.75% bonus for each year behind the country is compared to the benchmark of 1 advance every 16 years after the start of the game. Certain events can also directly increase the amount of research progress accumulated in a particular field.

An advance will be researched once the total research progress for that field reaches 100%, with any overflow carried over for the next advance. The progress and effects (including unlocked inventions) of the next advance in each field can be viewed in the tooltip of the corresponding progress bar.

Research efficiency

Research efficiency is the ratio of research points produced per year to Integrated.png integrated culture population and the main component of the actual research progress each month, meaning that larger countries generally need higher research point generation in order to keep up with research. It is calculated according to the following formula:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Research efficiency}=\frac{\text{Research Points}\cdot 12}{\text{Integrated Culture Population}}\cdot 100% }[/math]

Generally, it is desirable to keep research efficiency at at least 80% in order to research advances at a reasonable pace. Research efficiency has a baseline cap of 125%, modified by the Research points.png maximum research efficiency modifier. Each of the following inventions gives Research points.png +25% maximum research efficiency, giving a maximum of 250% research efficiency if all of them are adopted:

  • Invention.png Embracing Philosophy (Civic faction Civic Invention)
  • Invention.png Stoicism (Civic faction Civic Invention, requires Policy cultural assimilation.png Hellenistic Integrated.png primary or integrated culture)
  • Invention.png Book Binding (Oratory power.png Oratory Invention)
  • Invention.png Theological Colleges (Religious faction Religious Invention)
  • Invention.png Scribae (Religious faction Religious Invention)

Even though research efficiency is capped, it can still be useful to try to push the research points to population ratio higher in order to provide a buffer when assimilating pops or integrating new territory. Small, highly urbanized city-states will generally have a much higher research efficiency than sprawling empires with many rural pops, though it is possible to have a high research efficiency even with the largest empires so long as the major cities are sufficiently large and research-focused, of which growth through enslavement, migration, and continued Territory city.png urbanization will typically be needed to keep up.

As the denominator of research efficiency is based on the Integrated.png integrated culture population, not the total population, it is also possible to get high research efficiency by keeping a relatively small core of integrated culture pops compared to the empire's total output - especially useful is conquering foreign areas with significant numbers of Pop noble.png nobles and Pop citizen.png citizens, as they will produce Research points.png research points but not count against the denominator for research efficiency. However, the lower happiness of unintegrated culture pops, and particularly those of the higher classes that produce research, generally means that more care has to be taken to ensure their Happiness.png happiness and keep Unrest.png unrest under control compared to integrating them.

Researchers

Each technology field can have one researcher assigned to it, who leads the research efforts in that field and has a significant influence on how quickly advances in that field progress, giving a +10% research speed boost for each attribute point corresponding to the field (Military power.png martial for military advances, Civic power.png finesse for civic advances, Oratory power.png charisma for oratory advances, and Religious power.png zeal for religious advances). Like all other jobs and offices, holding the researcher position counts towards Prominence.png prominence, Family prestige family prestige, Power base power base, and the Position number of positions that a major family expects to hold.

Fields

The modifiers for a single level of advances in each field are listed below. Each level provides an additional modifier on top of the previous ones already accumulated.

Military power.png Martial Advances

  • Land morale.png +0.075 Morale of Armies
  • Naval morale.png +0.075 Morale of Navies
