Knowledge is the foundation of the game.

Q: I would like to receive more detailed information about using scrolls from the library.

A: Scrolls are knowledge. A building erected in a city will be displayed as knowledge in the library (Library -> Book House -> Small Library -> Library - grades of the library). Mages discover new spells and describe them in detail in scrolls that they send to the library. Blacksmiths produce new weapons and save their descriptions. And so on. By taking a scroll in one city and sending it to the library of another, you concentrate knowledge in one place so that you don't have to visit all cities to study magic, so that more weapons are available to your warriors in the Castle. At the same time, it is desirable to transfer scrolls with spells to places where there is a building, for example, a School of Magic, which can reproduce this knowledge (in this school, you can hire the most effective Mage). The same applies to Blacksmiths and Scientists. This is the first level of using scrolls.

With the help of knowledge generated by buildings, it is also possible to combine different lines of development (magical, manufacturing, and scientific) within one state.

Q: How do I get a specialization? What are specialization groups? How do specializations work in battle?

A: In the game, all specializations are divided into groups. For example, the "Magic" group includes Air Magic, Life Magic, Spirit Magic, etc., while the "Combat" group includes Attack, Defense, and so on. Obtaining a new specialization is possible when its group has at least 1500 experience. Once the experience in a group exceeds 1500, you have the opportunity to learn a specialization either upon leveling up or at the corresponding structures: for example, magic specializations can be obtained by visiting the Pillars of Elements on the map, or the Healer-Sorcerers' Houses or the Church in the city. Other useful specializations, such as Intelligence, Diplomacy, and some others, can be obtained at the library on the map. Some specializations (Patronage, Griffin Lord) require additional conditions—for example, the possession of other specializations (Patronage requires basic Leadership and Intelligence)

Many specializations obtained by a Hero play a significant role in battles. By obtaining a magic specialization, a player first gains the ability to learn spells corresponding to that school, with the ability to use them on the map and during combat. Each Magic specialization enhances the effect of spells from its school and increases the number of their effect cycles.

A Hero receives the following bonuses from various specializations:

	Fire Magic	reduces the amount of energy required to cast spells
	Life Magic	restores the Hero's health during battle, once per cycle.
	Mind Magic	allows the casting of two spells per turn.
	Spirit Magic	restores the Hero's spirit and raises the spirit of their warriors, allowing them to perform several strikes per turn.
	Leadership	allows the control of a greater number of mythical creatures in a squad.
	Patronage	this ability allows the Hero to transfer part of their attributes to their warriors.
	Explorer	increases the experience gained by the Hero on the map and after battle.
	Ranged Attack	allows the Hero to deal damage from a distance, granting +5 arrows per level.
	Strength and Armor	increase the Hero's Attack and Defense respectively, +10 per level.
	Agility	increases Attack and Defense by +8 per level.
	Diplomacy	allows the Hero to increase the probability of recruiting neutrals located on the map.
	Reconnaissance	activates a pathfinding algorithm that bypasses bandits, preventing them from attacking the Hero. A specialization of the corresponding level neutralizes camouflage of the same level.
	Camouflage	allows the Hero and their army to be camouflaged on the map and in battle.

The strength of the abilities directly depends on the level of the specialization. For example, a Level 1 Explorer provides 10% more experience, while Level 2 provides 15%.
