Hideout Academy - Technologies

[Captain Jack]

We should pick a few technologies that will make the entry level for Academy 1.0
They should affect existing features.

It would be good to start throwing ideas on costs.The need to be big to allow specialization (read 1st post for more).
Research time should be big too. I am not sure if we should allow fasten here. We will see.
Academy levels will affect research speed (2.5% reduction for every level will be used).

i think the first few technologies researched should not cost that much but they would get really expensive as you go further in the tree or try to further research a technology you already researched to increase its effect
i am trying to think of a few more technologies to add to the suggestion well post if i think of any

[Captain meow]

would it be possible for primitive steam ships to be made as a tech upgrade im just wondering like experimental coal fired engines it would not effect much

Bumping this thread for review and further discussion

"Estimated time for this, is about 3-4 more weeks. Some work has already been done and it is the leading choice right now. The biggest problem here is to decide the technologies that will be included in the first version. More details are needed, such as technology and building costs."

I somehow think Academy should be attached to the nation features.

I somehow think Academy should be attached to the nation features.

Do you mean it would be researched as a nation?
