When to research

Choose Schinkel Architecture while the named economic source is active: Grants a sum of coin and XP for each present and future building. Its value depends on workers, buildings or deliveries actually using that system, so compare the research investment with immediate production and switch plans if the source is exhausted or unsafe. Use the Academy for research. Research takes 40 seconds and costs 500 wood.

Coin and experience from buildings

Schinkel Architecture is a Revolution technology for Prussia or the German Confederation in The Baltic Powers. It is researched at the Academy, costs 500 Wood and takes 40 seconds. It grants Coin and experience for each existing and future building, so the return depends on settlement size and later construction.

Time it around expansion

A player with many structures may receive a larger immediate return, while continued construction can trigger later benefits. The Wood cost and research time compete with military production. Keep the Academy secure and do not build structures solely for the payout unless they also serve the economy or defense.
