هو - هي’s been a while since we’ve released our Research Tree update, but we wanted to revisit it with this post and give a more detailed guide on how the Research Tree works. هو - هي’s massive, and looking at it with unfamiliar eyes may cause joy of anticipation, a feeling of exploration but also panic.
We don’t want the last one to happen because of our game, so here goes the guide for the Research Tree.
What is the Research Tree?
Research Tree allows you to, duh, research more buildings for your Empire but also upgrade already researched buildings. It has 3 Tiers, and Tiers I and II are unlockable from the beginning of the game, and getting access to Tier III requires you to build a University in any of your cities.
The research Tab is located in the menu at the bottom of your screen and looks like this:
Click it and the world of wonder and innovation will open to you.
You can use the Research Tree to upgrade all non-city buildings you can build, excluding Special Residencies, they’re powerful on their own. Research Tree includes different Tiers of Research, and each building on every Tier also has additional upgrades.
Research Tiers and When to reach them
Let’s go through the Tiers.
Tier I has all the buildings you need for the Early Game. المزارع, Warehouses, and a Transport Company. Some of them you can use from the start, and some of them you need to Research first. If you stay on this comfortable and easy Tier though, you probably won’t be able to become the most feared/loved, and powerful Capo in the world of Cartel Tycoon.
To get to Tier II, you need to unlock it first by clicking the big “ثانيا” on the Research Tree. Doing that takes some of your hard-earned Legal Money but also grants you the ability to research Tier II itself. And that’s where it gets a bit trickier. With the Research Tree Update, we’ve introduced a non-linear research progression. Before that, you needed to research, على سبيل المثال, Farm I to get access to Farm II, and you needed to research that to get access to Farm III. We thought it wasn’t very fun and engaging so we made the Research Tree an actual tree, not a straight line. So now you have multiple “branches” to reach the desired research destination.
The same goes for Tier III. Click the big “III” زر, and you’re good to go. You also may notice that you can’t research upgrades to River Piers – they’re obtainable through the Story Mode and the “That Sinking Feeling” campaign, which I highly recommend you to play.
Where to research from there?
And now for Building upgrades, They differ between building categories. على سبيل المثال, producing buildings as Farms and Plantations will be able to produce and store more products in a shorter time when upgraded.
Logistics buildings like Transport Company and Warehouse will have more trucks, storage, and connections (or a bigger radius) متاح.
”لكن, sir, why would I ever-ever need to upgrade to the next Tier of the Research Tree, if I can just upgrade my Farm I with all the cool things like capacity and speed?”
Ahhh, of course, you can! It won’t be as good as Farm II, but it’s also a strategy you can implement. But as your empire, your needs, and your money and production volumes will rise, أنت’ll still feel that it’s not enough and will find the need to upgrade!
Unless you’re doing SL1, no Research, any% speedrun, of course. أوه, whoops, wrong game.
Outro
The other important thing is – don’t forget about Lieutenants! لماذا? Because some of them can give you free Research Upgrades as long as they’re in your Cartel. That can be especially helpful in the early game when you don’t have enough money to research everything you want, and your Lieutenants will come to the rescue.
We built the Research Tree with that in mind – with the idea of giving players more freedom and multiple ways to make their empire better and more fine-tuned. بالطبع, if the Research Tree changes in any way, shape, or form in the future, I will update this guide with the new information!
I hope it was useful, and now you won’t get stuck in the Research Tree again! حظ سعيد, Capos, and see you on the lands of Cartel Tycoon.
