Vedic Teachings changes villager: 1.02× work rate per Academy technology. Read the named target carefully: this effect applies only to the units, buildings, or economy described in its entry. This is the main reason to research it; compare the affected units with the army you expect to field.

Research cost and timing

Research is available in Imperial Age at the Fort. The recorded cost is 1100 Food, 700 Gold, and the research time is 40 seconds. Consider whether the upgrade will affect enough units or workers to repay that investment before the match is decided.

Effect and research timing

Research becomes available in: Imperial Age; Research at: Fort; Research cost: 1100 Food, 700 Gold; Research time: 40 seconds. This research is restricted to its named civilization, so it is part of that faction’s identity rather than a shared option. Its payoff is economic: the benefit accumulates through later work, so researching it earlier leaves more time for the improvement to matter.
