Due to popular demand, I am herby presenting the latest Research Leaderboard in a brand new iteration. It now includes the total Production Points (PP) dedicated to research by each player on a territory basis, as well as the hourly research and total research.
There is also a new leaderboard integrated in-game, sorted by the total Research points, so make sure to check that out as well:
What is interesting about the specific leaderboard variation in this post, sorted by Research PP (and hence also sorted by Research/Hour), that you can already see who will sooner or later surpass the current total research points leaders. Their larger production will accumulate more research over time and eventually will make them climb the leaderboard bit by bit.
Compare it with the leaderboard in-game, to see who will soon rise the ranks.
