Research center

The research center is a special building in Ardheim. In order to build it, you need to acquire rough hinges from the Technology Triumph event. (However, in the reward for building it, you also receive 100 rough hinges back, which you then can use for other constructions.) Once built, it can be used to hire new troops using Ardheim technology. The research center requires player level 20 to construct.

The gallery below shows the Research center at all different levels.

At level 1, the research center can build Technician units. At higher levels, the "Mongoose", Two technicians, and Combat brigade become available. The cost to hire troops is as follows:

Like other production buildings, the research center can also be used to train the units it produces. For details on the effects and costs of training, please see the individual unit pages. You can also use the research center to produce upgraded hinges, at the cost of 10 rough hinges for 1 ordinary hinge, and 10 ordinary hinges for 1 high-precision tempered hinges. These are necessary for higher-level upgrades and production.

The costs and benefits of upgrading the research center are as follows:
