Some complex buildings and resource production requires at least one of the lords to have the prerequisite knowledge. Lords gain knowledge by reading books, which are obtained from the Holy Caravan and housed in the Library. In the Knowledge menu lords can be assigned to study and write books. The higher the Intellect skill of the lord reading it, the faster it gains its knowledge. After studying a book, the lord will be able to create a copy of it using Paper. Reading will be performed daily, as long as it is possible, and decreases Rest.

Many things requires at least one of the lords to have the prerequisite knowledge. Lords that are at least 12 years old gain knowledge by reading or rewriting books, which are housed in the Library. In the Knowledge menu lords can be assigned to study and rewrite books. After studying a book, the lord will be able to create a copy of it using 3 [[File:Paper.png|25px]] Paper. The knowledge menu will display which lords know which knowledge.


== Building knowledge ==
Books are mainly bought from the Holy Caravan, who will always sell any missing book as long as its requirements are met. If a lord knows a book they can also write it.
Knowledge about buildings comes in 3 levels:
 
* The first knowledge unlocks the building for construction and allows it to be upgraded up to level 3 has various unlock requirements.
If assigned to read, the lord will do that all day unless they are satisfying a need. If assigned to rewrite, the lord will do it between 9 AM and 6 PM. Other assignments and actions will be completed first before resuming either of these.
* The second knowledge allows the building to be upgraded up to level 5 and requires the building to reach level 3.
 
* The third knowledge improves the building's efficiency and requires the building to reach level 5.
The speed at which books are read or written depends on the assigned lord's [[File:Intellect.png|25px]] Intellect skill. Both decrease Rest.
 
Very rarely, if a lord's Mood is high and they are managing a building they may gain a random knowledge. It can also happen as a result of nervous breakdowns. The chance for both is affected by the lord's [[File:Intellect.png|25px]] Intellect skill.
 
Every city will start with the Mine and Rye Field and Mill books. Additional books can be added by the selected scenario.
 
Books come in three levels of rarity, which determines their price, the required [[File:Intellect.png|25px]] Intellect skill to read them and the chance of being shared during a Wise Conversation.
* <span style="color:gray;">'''Basic'''</span> books need at least 3 skill to read and have a 3% chance of being shared
* <span style="color:green;">'''Advanced'''</span> books need at least 9 skill to read and have a 2% chance of being shared
