Science buildings usually base their bonus effects on number of Citizens, but some of them also give a percentage increase over the base science production of the city. In some cases, having more cities can impede technological progress - a conqueror who took 10 cities in the last 50 turns might find himself bogged down if he didn't bother to develop the captured cities.ĭon't forget that puppet cities count towards the total number of cities you own in Brave New World Science is a stat which is almost absent from terrain, but there are some important exceptions. Next, assign Scientist specialists, especially in small cities if you can afford it, of course, no use starving your city just to have one Scientist specialistso that you can add Science to your base. Which means that the more Citizens you have, the more Science you produce automatically, again without having to do anything else. Unlike Culture and Faith, which are only produced from buildings, each and every active Citizen in your empire excluding those in Resistance from recently captured cities adds 1 Science to its city's base, without you having to do anything! The main key to scientific progress isn't territory or resources, but large population, combined with wise building management. That's why, as with all other types of victory, you need a strategy for obtaining Science victory. That being said, competing against all other nations for achieving a Science victory first is anything but easy - they may hamper your progress at the very end through the World Congress, or they could invade your lands before you're ready, or someone may simply outpace you and launch their Spaceship first! You may simply develop your empire, and if you see that towards the end of the game you're making good technological progress, you may head for a Science victory. You don't need to go out of your way to do anything else, like influence other nations, or gain many City-State allies, etc. Science victory is the most straightforward path to victory in the game - you just need to ensure fast technological research pace for your empire, and eventually you'll be able to construct and launch the Spaceship. If you scroll down, you'll be able to see each individual part of the ship as it takes its place in the whole skeleton, and know which parts you are missing.

Note that each of the parts above requires 1 Aluminum resource! Finally, you will have to bring all parts to your Capital and use the special "Add to Spaceship" option to complete the vessel and launch it into Space.Īs soon as you start constructing the Spaceship by adding the first part, you'll see a launch pad appear in your Capital. Then you need to build the following parts of the Spaceship. Next, you need to research most of the technologies in the Information Era to gain access to all Spaceship Parts. Before you can construct a spaceship, you must first develop the Apollo Program project in one of your cities. Do you want to master space? To leave all your rivals breathing your technological dust? To research everything a civilization can and head to the future? Then Science victory is your victory! This article discusses the ways for achieving Science victory in Civilization V.
