Research

Forge of Empires Research Helper

The tech tree is a lot of clicking for a simple decision: can I afford this, and what is next? Defiant puts every technology — in progress, available, and locked — on one screen, spends what you can actually afford in a single request, and keeps back the forge points you were saving.

The whole tree, one window

Every technology in one place — in progress, available to start, and locked — instead of panning around the tech tree.

One click, one request

Start any tech and the bot spends as much forge point as you can afford in a single request rather than one point at a time.

Affordability shown live

+1 FP, Fill, and Pay & Unlock each check against your current coins, supplies, and goods before you commit.

Research All, with a stop

Unlocks every safely affordable technology in your current age, and stops the moment one is not affordable rather than half-funding it.

A reserve that holds

The reserve FP setting keeps a cushion back, so an automated run never empties the bar you were saving for something else.

Packs stay yours

Opt in to opening the minimum forge point packages a run needs, or leave your packs untouched entirely.

Branch choices understood

Technologies inside an era branch decision are resolved properly, so a branched tech is never shown as available and then fails.

See what is coming

An optional Show Locked toggle reveals every upcoming technology with its forge point and resource requirements.

How it works

  1. Open the Research window from the panel; your current tech state is read from the game.
  2. Set a reserve if there are forge points you do not want a run to touch.
  3. Decide whether runs may open forge point packages, or whether your packs stay closed.
  4. Start a single technology, or use Research All to unlock everything safely affordable in your current age.
  5. Turn on Show Locked when you want to plan ahead against the real forge point and goods requirements.

Questions

Will Research All spend everything I have?
Not past your reserve. It unlocks what is safely affordable in your current age and stops at the first technology it cannot fully afford, leaving the reserve intact.
Does it open my forge point packages?
Only if you opt in, and then only the minimum a run needs. Left off, your packs are untouched.
What about era branch choices?
They are resolved rather than guessed. A technology that lives inside a branch decision is not listed as available when the branch has not been taken, which is the failure this replaced.
Why spend forge points in one request?
Because filling a technology one point at a time is a long string of separate actions. A single request does the same thing in one step.
Is research automation allowed by InnoGames?
No. Third-party automation is against the Forge of Empires terms of service. See our FAQ for the full risk disclosure.
