Research

 Overview: 

Research is one of the main ways to progress with each game (the other being prestige cups). They are available at the start of the game, but in order to research them you will need a university and some science production.

Generally there is a set path for research as each one is at least twice as expensive as the one previous (usually more), the first of which is winery and swamp dwelling lvl 1 costing a few million each.
