Academy Buildings
-Reviews
Recently, a new building has been added to Avonmora called the Academy. Young citizens planning to build a trade empire and older folks looking to invest here's the information about the academy that the current owners have shared.
Do you like what it has to offer?
~Shaydo: Yes, good range of technology it has available.
~Lodswe: For me the captains costed 5.7,now its down to 4.6 so yes defenitly worth it for me.
~ Stan Rogers: I am sitting "on the fence". Some technology will be helpful but I have not committed to any specific path to follow as yet as none really grabs my interest.
Any insights on what a new player should expect after constructing the building?
~Shaydo: There maybe a few technologies new players are interested in, depends on what there style is. Due to cost some are worth it, others not so, with any of them look long term return.
~Lodswe: Many interesting technologies.
~Stan Rogers: If you have a hideout, the academy offers improvements to many aspects of gameplay. Again, to have Academy, will allow development in some specific area beyond what people who do not have academy can do.

Thanks for the reviews mates. Also, those are all the eleven (11) currently available technologies that you can research. At level one (1) the will cost only gold coins but for level 2+ it will require gold bars.
Sail safe and look out for us at the next feature implementation.
