Hi all,
What is the max number of scientists for each science type?
For example, could we give 50 scientists for income and each of them will affect the increase? or Is there any upper limit that after certain number scientist there will be no effect as increase?
(ps. I though all of scientists are prof.)
15 Professors in Alchemy and Tools
17 Professors in all the rest
This will give you the cap.
Would 30 novices [or 20 grads] also be the "cap"? or is it just 15 scientists?Quote:

Unless in certain cases where you really need to max out a certain category for a short term gain (military/channelling/Crime or even pop in an overpopulating scenario) You will likely not want to put more scientists in a category than the # of professors required to cap it.
Like for alchemy, really the best bet is to just put 15 scientist and leave them there to gain experience. After 7 full days of non-fort time, they will be professors and you will have gotten the max benefit out of Alchemy.
