Research

Overview

Day 1 researches available

Research allows you to mobilise new units and upgrade existing ones. You can access the research panel via the player profile.

• New research becomes available almost every day. Your research tree is specific to your nation's doctrine, and favours different unit types early on.
• Upgrades are hierarchical. You cannot research late-game upgrades until you research the pre-requisites.
• You may cancel ongoing research at any time, note that you will be refunded any amount of resources paid.

If you are researching an upgrade for an existing unit, you can click the 'i' button for the selected research to see how the unit's stats, cost, etc. will change.

Military Doctrines

Your nation's doctrine is key to what research you will likely prioritize during the game. The image below gives you a visual guide to the units which are available first for research per type and doctrine.
