Byzantine: Monk

Information

Each Monk adds 0.1% to the Education skill. The bonus is added at the beginning of each battle, depending on the amount of Monks that entered it.

Example:

If at the beginning of the battle you have 20 monks , they will give you a bonus of 20 * 0.1 = 2% on the Education skill.Apart from giving a bonus, the Monks also increase the maximum bonus that can be acquired, over the limit presented by the skills.The limit becomes 30% (35%) and it can be achieved either by a combination of bonus from Skill and units or by units only.

Example:

If you have the Education skill developed to Advanced this brings you 10% on Education. If you also have at least 200 Monks in the beginning of the battle, they will give you an additional 20%. This way the skill bonus reaches the maximum of 30%.

Another option might be that you don't want to spend skill points on the Education skill. In that case you can achieve the maximum with units only. For this purpose you need at least 300 Monks, at the beginning of the battle, to reach the limit of 30% (300 * 0.1 = 30%).

After developing the Special upgrade of this unit, the limit of the skill Education is further increased to 35%. This percentage can be achieved by using one of the 2 schemes listed above.

Please note that regardless of the amount of Monks, at the beginning of the battle, the bonus for this skill can't exceed the mentioned limit of 30% (35% if the Special upgrade of the special unit is developed);

Example:

If at the beginning of the battle you have 1000 Monks the bonus gained will not be equal to 1000 * 0.1 = 100%. The bonus will be limited to the mentioned limit of 30% (35% if the special upgrade of the special unit is developed);
