Currently in my game I have three religions founded, I am running a little behind in the tech lead against Egypt so I decided to use my monestaries to boost my research abilities. My question boils down to this, the 10% research that you get from building the monestary is that cumulative in that city, i.e. if I built an islamic monestary & a Buddhist monestary would I get a 20% increase in science in that city?

They stack, so it's theoretically possible to get up to 70% if you had all seven religions in a city. -
Re: Questions on the Monestaries
It's determined by the base amount your city is producing. So if your city is putting out 10 beakers on it's own each Monastery will add 1 more, for a total of 12. You can find out your base amount by rolling over the beaker icons with your mouse/cursor.Originally posted by greenday_234

simply put, yes they combine... Not cumulative, just combinative (is that a word?). so library 25%, academy 50%, and 2 monestaries = 95% bonus.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

However monestaries don't help with reseach for cities producing less than 10 flasks (not beaker
). Maybe it's better to find ways to cut your expenses.

Not entirely true. It's true that in isolation a Monastary wouldn't, but in combination with a Library or another Monastary it would. For example in a city with 5 beakers, then 1 monastary gives 0 bonus, 2 monastaries give +1 beaker.However monestaries don't help with reseach for cities producing less than 10 flasks (not beaker ).

In a city with 6-7 beakers, a library adds +1 beaker, a monastary increases that to +2. At 8 beakers the monastary doesn't help, at 9 beakers it takes it from +2 to +3.
Basically getting the multiplier higher is a good thing as it reduces the effect of rounding down.Comment

I just ran a test in World Builder, and you're right. The percentages for each building combine together to increase the total. That's good to know.Originally posted by Blake
