Tribenet: Research...

Bruce:

Question:  Once you reach skill level 10 in a particular skill, you can
research into new applications of that skill... this I understand.  What
I have questions on is:

1) Do you have to start over with every new topic you are researching?
For instance, if you research dogs under herding, which are DL 3, can
you start from there and research milking (which is DL 6)?  Or do you
have to start from DL 0 in each topic (which would be a REAL b$tch!)?

2) This might seem obvious, but it just occurred to me.  There is a
SKILL called research.  Does the research skill help (raise the chance
of success) when you are researching other topics for skills that you
have gotten to skill level 10 in?  Seems to make sense, but, if so,
that's gonna REALLY ruin my day.

Is your tribe number 131?  What continent are you on?

I'm tribe number 0267; I've just sent off my 9th turn on Mangalia
(Peters' continent).  I >dream< of the day when I can actually have a
skill at level 10!  I have the impression that the Hunting and Herding
skills are the most important in the early going... is this your
feeling?

Cheers,
Patrick
