Researching(Bloons: Clash of Bloonpires)

Researching is a new mechanic found in my game idea, Bloons: Clash of Bloonpires. It allows you to upgrade your troops to beome stronger for war. Each tower type has it own unique building to research its special abilities in. There are five different researches, each new one stronger than the last. Your battlers also change the way they look in battle. It even shows this in a small window on the right of the interface, displaying the figure marching in place, viewing the way it looks thanks to its upgrades. Look at the Bloons: Clash of Bloonpires page to see each individual upgrade building. Researches themselves are also found there. The interface itself displays five tiles horizontally, each displaying a different icon. The icon will represent what the research does. The left-most upgrade is the first, and the right-most is the strongest. Most lesser researchs invlove raising HP, or speed, a very generic sort of research. As you contiinue through the upgrades, they start to become less generic, and aim toward the unit itself. The last one always includes an ability, which can be found in the bottom-left of the screen like in BTD5 or Bloons Monkey City. Each ability has its own unique cooldown, and ability relating to the tower.
