Cost, time and bonus at every level
Scouting Networks runs to level 8, adding +1.2% to march_speed and 80 power each time. Studying it out costs the four soft resources — the same amount of each — and takes 14m 2s for the final level alone. Gems are only ever the optional instant finish; the study itself is bought with what your fields already make.
| Level | Total march speed | Power | Study time | Each resource | Gems to finish instantly |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | +1.2% | 80 | 2m 14s | 12,000 | 3 |
| 2 | +2.4% | 160 | 2m 54s | 15,600 | 3 |
| 3 | +3.6% | 240 | 3m 47s | 20,280 | 4 |
| 4 | +4.8% | 320 | 4m 55s | 26,364 | 5 |
| 5 | +6% | 400 | 6m 23s | 34,273 | 7 |
| 8 | +9.6% | 640 | 14m 2s | 75,298 | 15 |
Taken from nothing to level 8 that is 53m 21s of raw study and 286,292 of each of food, wood, stone and iron — 1,145,168 resources in total.
