The King Is Watching Research Table Guide

Written by Alec Blackwood | The King is Watching

The Research Table is a strategic tool that unlocks new buildable structures during gameplay cycles. However, it requires direct interaction—you must click its research icon near the gaze meter to activate it. Passive production is nonexistent.

Core Mechanics

  • Activates a timer when placed in your kingdom
  • A scroll icon appears near the King’s Vision button upon completion
  • Clicking the icon reveals random building blueprints for selection

Chosen blueprints become permanently available for construction until your reign ends.

Key Features

  • Exclusive gaze dependency: Only progresses when within your vision
  • Manual blueprint selection: No automatic unlocks
  • Resets research cycle after each blueprint acquisition

Optimization Strategies

  • Prioritize early deployment for essential structures like:
    • Forge
    • Hospital
    • Arena
  • Monitor during calm periods between waves
  • Remove once desired blueprints are secured
  • Single-table efficiency: Additional tables provide no speed benefits

FAQ

  • How does activation work?
    Maintain the table in your sightline and interact with the notification when ready.
  • Why isn’t it progressing?
    Verify it’s within your vision range and that you’ve manually triggered blueprint selection.
  • Multiple tables advantage?
    None. Single-table operation maximizes functionality.
  • When to skip it?
    If your infrastructure already meets your strategic needs.
