Alin Research: Land Lore
Guide Index | Evocation | Land Lore | Treasure | Vigor
Alin research points are gained by building magus districts in your cities. You will gain two research points initially for each magus district. This bonus increases to +1 for every magus district in a city when it moves to the large city stage.
Land Lore
The Land Lore research track bestows your nation with the attrition ability. Units within your national borders will take damage each second when they aren't supplied. Each level increases the damage done. Land Lore also unlocks the Alin's natural knowledge of the land, enabling them to see the layout of the map and, at later levels, remove the fog of war entirely. Land Lore also increases your national borders, which is always a good thing. If your national border is further extended you may have access to a mine or a battle that would have been fought in neutral territory could now be fought in your own.
Here are the bonuses for each level of Land Lore:
Level I:
Cost: 1 Research Point
Allows attrition damage to enemies at the rate of .25 damage per second
