Most technologies have a " Eureka" objective / bonus. This is not guaranteed, but it's another good reason to search them out and claim them before anybody else does. Players can also obtain technology from some Tribal Villages. Each technology costs a certain amount of science to learn the more science generated each turn the shorter the amount of time it takes to research each technology. Every turn a civilization generates an amount of science that can be used for research. Players acquire technology by accumulating " science," which represent the amount of science a civilization possesses. And technological advances in medicine and sanitation fought off the other great threat to civilization – disease. Technological advances in weaponry and masonry allowed cities to drive off jealous barbarians seeking to steal their food and plunder their wealth. Technological advances in agriculture and fishing caused cities to grow and thrive. Technology is one of the driving forces behind civilization.
