Good god trying to research lvl 10 spells takes a long long time

I haven't seen a difference with any of the upgrades except the defender one, as that provides an immediate and obvious benefit (free unit).

Check the city summary and you'll see the bonuses calculated. They are actually pretty significant because they are cumulative. So you might have a 10% bonus to arcane, 20% income bonus, and then 30% research at a level 4 city. However, remember that 10% of 1 is 0.1, so don't expect HUGE returns if you have low output.

The problem is that unless you have 10 or more in spell research fromt he city then 10% bonus just isn't very significant.

 

If you really focus a city hard towards one goal and then choose that bonus every time your city levels you can get a decent increase but unless you are pumping a fair amount of whatever without the bonus the bonus is too smal to make much of a difference.

 

I would love to see a "agriculture" city focus bonus as well.

The only agriculture City Bonus I've found so far is Irrigation which gives +25% Food Bonus.

Agriculture is hero farmers. They add a bonus to food production.

I was aware of those, but there should be a city growth bonus like the ones for magic, materials, research etc...
